Who were the Florida Highwaymen? Their bright, tropical colors were popular for motels, medical offices and banks. As many as 200,000 paintings may still exist today. While the Florida Highwaymen got their start on the Treasure Coast, this group of artists are emblems of Black history in Florida. To honor their legacy, the Florida Highwaymen Foundation is taking the artists back on the road with specialty license plates available to pre-order online now. The license plate is an original painting by Alfred Hair , one of the original 26, who painted a scene of an orange royal poinciana tree in full bloom and a palm tree beside a waterway.
