The Preserving Voices project strives to re-establish the tradition and showmanship of the lector de tabaquería. Like those who once read to the cigar workers of Key West, Ybor City, West Tampa, New York and beyond, our distinguished readers showcase their talents as they perform key essays and articles published within the Cuban émigré press of the latter half of the nineteenth century. In addition to their historical importance, these articles are often vivacious and riveting in style and substance, conveying deep passion, strong social commitment, striking elegance and prescient insight. Thanks to a generous grant from the Florida Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Center for José Martí Studies Affiliate at The University of Tampa can now begin to bring these important voices back to life, offering a new and entertaining way to discover and explore these fascinating communities.
