Fawn Weaver created the Nearest Green Foundation, an organization that will honor Nathan “Nearest” Green, the slave who taught Jack Daniel how to make whiskey.
The initiative was started by Weaver, a New York Times best-selling author who plans to honor Green by “including a museum, memorial park, book about his life and college scholarships for his descendants,” according to a statement from the foundation.
