SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Today is the start of Black History Month.
One shining example of strong Black roots here in the mid-state is Nearest Green Distillery.
It's the largest Black-owned spirits company in the world and Ben Hill joined us this morning from the distillery in Shelbyville to share the remarkable story of how this all got started.
Our viewers are the best! When Hannah McDonald highlighted the plight of Serenity Sumler, so many of you immediately stepped up. Serenity stopped to help a driver after spotting a wreck and was hit by another car, resulting in terrible injuries. Without the funds to pay for physical therapy, she was at a loss. Because of the kindness of others - she now can rehab and get back to school. Best of luck to her as she trains to become a chef!
