HATTIESBURG, Miss. (WDAM) - For Black History Month, Southern Prohibition Brewery in Hattiesburg is helping to raise awareness for injustices people of color face daily.
The brewery has partnered with a Texas brewery and Walmart to distribute a “Black is Beautiful” beer. Proceeds from the initiative are donated to local organizations that support police brutality reform and legal defenses for those who have been wronged.
“It’s just really awesome to represent Mississippi, and you know to kinda let everybody know that we’re here for everybody,” head brewer Ben Green said.
