Southword: Meet Al Black

As part of our ongoing Southword partnership with NPR, we traveled with Jacki Lyden to Fort Pierce, Florida, to explore the stranger-than-fiction history of a group of black artists called "The Highwaymen." The result of the partnership is a fascinating radio series from NPR with our accompanying Southword video called "Meet Al Black" about the group's legendary salesman-cum-painter and his checkered-but-fascinating story.
