The Cuban ambassador’s recent trip to Tampa has made headlines over the last few weeks, but Sarah McNamara’s new book, “Ybor City: Crucible of the Latina South” looks even further back than the Castro-era to chronicle a wave of leftist, radical antifascist women from pre-revolutionary Cuba who fought for their lives—and the well being of future generations—in the reconstructionist South.
Join McNamara, historian Gary Mormino and emcee Manny Leto as they commemorate the 1937 antifascist women's march where 5,000 women took to the streets of Ybor City.
