“The Florida Highwaymen: Art Innovators in a Civil Rights Epoch”
In 1955 a group of 26 African American landscape artists in Florida taught themselves how to paint and made a living selling door-to-door to businesses and individuals. No Art Gallery would allow them entry during this 'Jim Crow' era.
