The Inventor and The Thief / Snap Judgment, "Legacy"

When a brilliant inventor was robbed of his life’s work, his son did the the only reasonable thing: he became a robber. Walter is currently producing a film called The Unknowns: Talent is Colorblind. The film tells the incredible true story of “The Highway,” a group of self-taught African-American painters living in the Jim Crow South who -- when no one was looking -- invented a whole new style of art. You can learn more about the film -- and about the Highwaymen -- by visiting its website. http://www.theunknownsmovietalentiscolorblind.com/ To learn more about the life of Walter Shaw Sr. and his inventions, be sure to check out Walter Jr.’s memoir, License To Steal, and the documentary Genius On Hold.
