Comment posted to article 13:28, 1 February 2022 by SDGREENBAUM, moved here for posterity:

Susan Greenbaum's book, More than Black: Afro-Cubans in Tampa, U Press of FL https://upf.com/book.asp?id=9780813024660, contains information that refutes several statements here. The club was actually formed on Oct. 26, 1900. The 1904 date refers to a merger with a similar Afro-Cuban club in West Tampa, which altered the name, but members were all the same. Originally Tampa's Black and White Cubans formed an integrated club in 1899, El Club Nacional Cubano (also known as the Oct. 10 Club). Black members were ejected in 1900, after the officers were threatened by the KKK, or so I was told by an elderly member. At that time it was still not against the law for social clubs to be intergrated, although it was strongly discouraged. Jim Crow laws were passed in a succession, only later covering this situation. Paulina Pedroso was not the "organizer" but her husband Ruperto and two dozen other men were. Women were not allowed to belong at that time, and they were not allowed to be voting members until the 1970s.

I am working to clarify this article. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 17:04, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
