Gary Monroe’s Alfred Hair: Heart of the Highwaymen is a long-awaited testament to the life and work of the man and artist who was the driving force of the Florida Highwaymen, a group of young Black artists who painted their way out of the despair awaiting them in the citrus groves and packing houses of 1950s Florida. He and Joanna Robotham, curator of modern and contemporary art at the Tampa Museum of Art, share their thoughts on the Highwaymen canon.
