Fulgencio Batista is one example among many of people with mixed heritage who did not proclaim himself Black in any way, shape, form, or fashion:
Fulgencio Batista is an example of many things. Of the kind of leaders that the United States sponsored under the quasi-annexation the Platt and Teller Amendments secured. Of the kind of person who has mixed ancestry but did not consider himself Black (his ancestors were Black, Chinese, and Taino, as well as white, respectively). His regime was a brutal corrupt thing that had limited to no popular appeal, hence the ability of a relatively weak and puny movement led by Fidel Castro to depose it.
Batista also 'recruited' Haitian laborers in the sugar industry called Braceros who are in that nebulous 'not quite slavery' concept much like US sharecroppers in the Deep South who did live on cotton plantations and worked themselves to the bone in a region whose economy was very much reliant on their labor.

“CUBAN REBEL EXILES,” Vancouver Sun. February 22, 1933. Page 7. ---- Threats of revolt against the rule of President Gerardo Machado in Cuba are heard often in Havana these days and many of the rumors say that this group, now in exile in Florida, is planning some action, particularly since reports say Mario Menocal (upper right) flew to Cuba to head a new revolutionary force. In the group are (from left): First row: General Menocal. who led an unsuccessful revolution in 1931; Dr. S. Verdeja, Dr. M. Fraga. Second row: E. Arguellas, R. Menocal and F. Arguellas. Upper row: R. Del Viro, E. Arguellas and Mario Menocal.

Raising 'Em In Hotbeds 
September 25, 1906
Secretary of War William H. Taft cultivates his Presidential Boom Plant in Cuba; Secretary of State Elihu Root grows his in South America.
The caption reads 'Can the secretaries transplant them in their native land?'
Taft and Root were both considered strong presidential candidates, and if their work in Cuba and South America paid off, it would hopefully serve to enhance their reputations even more.
See Also: William Howard Taft; Elihu Root

"The Ten Years’ War, Cuba’s first war for independence from Spain, occurs at a moment in which U.S. interest in the annexation of Cuba is high. At the same time, the U.S. is in the middle of Reconstruction; slavery—and specifically abolition—is one of the issues at the heart of Cuba’s independence struggle. O’Kelly’s narrative provides a key firsthand account of this complex moment from the epicenter of the conflict."

My latest documentary for CBC Radio is an idea I've been working on for over a decade. The story of a cigar, from seed to roller, and what tobacco means to Cuban culture, history and society.

The phenomenally talented Lola Falana performs the song I Am Love on her limited TV series Lola! in 1976. Known as “The Queen of Las Vegas” during the 1970s, Lola's talents as a riveting singer and dancer definitely warranted the praise she received during the height of her fame. Following her success performing at The Sands, The Riviera, and the MGM Grand hotels, The Aladdin Hotel ultimately signed her for $100,000 per week, making her the highest paid female artist in Las Vegas during the era.
