Undoubtedly, the upheaval and opposition got so bad that Batista shut the University down in 1955, I think. My questions primarily arise from how this came about. Even though Cuba, from my understanding, didn't have Jim Crow laws, it was still had a racially hierarchical society which was very stratified socioeconomically. Even Batista,the dictator, who was mixed race, was excluded from certain social clubs. My questions revolve around the putative pool of potential initiates given these social realities.
