Bookroo's summary

In a pivotal era of Cuban history, Afro-Cubans fight for equality after slavery's end and independence's dawn. Despite their sacrifices, they face fierce resistance from the white elite. As they form the first national black party, tensions rise, leading to a tragic massacre in 1912. Will their struggle for justice ever be realized, or will racial equality remain a distant dream? This gripping narrative explores the deep-rooted racial challenges in Cuba's quest for true independence.
