At a time when being black in Florida meant being subjected to Jim Crow laws and limited opportunity, 26 African American youths from the Fort Pierce/Vero Beach area broke the mold by forming a group of entrepreneurial artists that came to be known as the Highwaymen. These artists helped shape Florida's history and visual legacy by creating more than 250,000 oil paintings featuring the Sunshine State's beautiful landscapes. A collection of these inspiring mid-20th century paintings will be on view for FREE from Feb. 4 to April 10, 2010 in the Second Floor Gallery of NSU's Alvin Sherman Library, located on NSU's main campus at 3301College Ave. in Davie.
