Race in Cuba The legacy of slavery and the legacy of systematic racial discrimination imposed on Afro-Cubans are grim realities that are imbedded in Cuban societal and cultural fibers. Despite the abolition of slavery in 1886 and its gaining of independence in 1902 Cuban society‚ politics‚ and ideology have been haunted with the specter of the ‘race issue.’ According to Aline Helg‚ "the myth of Cuban racial equality has proved remarkably enduring‚ even since the revolution of 1959".
