Wikipedia's article on slavery in Cuba, community-edited. Reliable for Cuba's continued participation in the transatlantic slave trade until 1867, well after most nations had formally banned it (at least 123,775 people imported between 1821 and 1853 alone), for slavery itself persisting under Spanish rule until an 1886 royal decree of abolition, and for naming the Lucumi (Yoruba), alongside the Mandingo, Ganga, Arara, Carabali and Congo, among the six main African ethnic groups enslaved on the island.
