What Miami gambled on, fatefully, was the ability of the city's Latin quarter to attract wealthy South American visitors. At that time the Cuban refugees numbered about 20 per cent of the population, and relations between the Cuban and the non-Latin white (or "Anglo") communities were good.

Prominent among them is the goal of "black advancement," which the company has sought to promote through various recruitment schemes over the past five years.
