We are celebrating Black History Month with Southern flavors made Philly-style, a tasting room for wine connoisseurs and a look inside Pennsylvania's first Black distillery.
Russell Scott Fletcher found his passion for distilling in 2009 when he started making wine.
"When people hear that they're like, 'wait a minute, that can't be true; you're telling me we only have one black-owned distillery?!'" says Fletcher.The Museum of the American Revolution is showcasing a new exhibition called "Black Founders: The Forten Family of Philadelphia" through Nov. 26. "James Forten heard the words, 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal...' and he referenced those for the rest of his life," says Adrienne Whaley, Director of Education and Community Engagement for the Museum of the American Revolution.
