Nick Nuccio: I was born in the city of Tampa, October 24, 1901, so all my life has been living in Tampa. I've never lived in any other part of the country outside of Tampa. I travel extensively, for business and pleasure, mostly, but my home is in Tampa. (clears throat) I was, at the age of thirty-six (clears throat) I was the youngest member up to today, the youngest member of the city council. I was there for maybe seven years. Then from there I was elected to the county commission, and I was there for about twenty-two years. Then I ran for mayor and was elected. I went there for an expired term for three years. FB: When was the year that you were first elected mayor? NN: Let me give you a brochure that I've got— FB: Yeah. NN: —and then you'll— Pause in recording FB: (inaudible) NN: Let me say this to you. You see, I wanted to build a clinic when I was county commissioner, over here in the black section, right off of Twenty-Second Street here on Twenty-Eighth Avenue, and I was looking for a piece of property there. And I found out 1 that Lee Davis—you've heard of Lee Davis? FB: Yes, I know who he is. NN: Lee Davis owned a lot, a couple of lots, right across the street from where he lived at that time. So, I went to Lee Davis and I told him, I said, “Lee, I want to build a clinic for your people. We’re doing it mostly for your people in this area, so they don't have to go down town to the clinic, you know.” And I said, “I'm interested in buying those lots for you.” He says, “All right, let me talk to my wife.” So he talked to his wife and he called me back. And he says, “All right, we want—ordinarily we would sell those lots for two thousand dollars, but due that you want to put a clinic there, we will give it to you for a thousand dollars—for the city to buy it, that is.” So, that was in the daytime. That same night he called me at home. He said, “You know, I’ve been discussing with my wife. If we'll going to give it to you for a thousand dollars, we’ll just as soon give it to for nothing.” So he gave us the lots. So I built that clinic there, and I put an inscription of Lee Davis there. Well, everybody thinks that Lee Davis build that building, you know what I mean? FB: (laughs) Oh, I see. NN: Because I put his name there, “In memory of Lee Davis,” you know, and all that stuff in honor of Lee Davis that he gave us the property and this and that. But my name is on the plaque, too. FB: I never knew that. NN: Well, I've been talking to three or four people that know about that clinic, you know what I mean? And they all thought that Lee Davis was the one that built that clinic. FB: (laughs) NN: So anyhow, I was county commissioner for twenty-two years, after I got out of the city council. Ran for mayor for an expired term after Curtis Hixon’s death, and I was elected for a three year term. Then I ran again, and I was defeated. I ran for the county commissioner again, and I got elected. So two years after that, which makes it twenty- four years with the county commission. I ran again for mayor for a full term, and I got elected again. FB: Who was your opposition in that? NN: Huh? FB: Who was your opposition in that race? In the last election for mayor? 2 NN: In the last election, (inaudible), who I put in the Housing Authority; we were very friendly; there was no opposition., because of (inaudible) be at the end or anything like that. (inaudible) and another Latin person, and some Anglo-Saxon, I don't know who it was. I don't remember now. FB: Okay, so it didn't come down to just two people? NN: No, no, no; it was about four or five in the running. So, that's been my political life. All my life over the years has been in public service. FB: (inaudible) NN: And for your information—I want you to know this bit if you are trying to write a black history of Tampa. I was the first mayor, first one—first person, rather—that put black people in policy making boards. I put Reverend [G.V.] Oates as a member of the Housing Authority, and I put Reverend Wilburn as a member of the urban renewal, you see. When I was mayor, the city of Tampa was the first city in the state of Florida that went to the housing—urban renewal rather; urban renewal. I wanted to first start urban renewal, because it was getting predominantly black in Ybor City, but the federal government says no, it’s nearly 50 percent white and 50 percent black. They would not accept that, so I took in that (inaudible) project. You know where the (inaudible) project is on Seventh Avenue, where Nuccio Drive is? That’s how that Nuccio Drive came into the business. So I cleaned up all that slum area that was there. And Blythe Andrews [Senior] bought that property from the urban renewal—you know who Blythe Andrews is? FB: Yes. NN: —and put up those projects, those housing projects there. Now, the Housing Authority—the urban renewal, rather, urban renewal had the authority to sell it, with the consent of the mayor and the city council. We gave consent right away. I knew Blythe Andrews; he is a very dear friend of mine, and young Andrews is a good friend of mine too. And so they mentioned publicly that street was going to be named Nuccio Drive, from Nebraska [Avenue] to Fifteenth Street. Well, after they did that, I didn't want to embarrass the boys, you know, and Reverend Wilburn is the one that mentioned it. I would have preferred Blythe Andrews Drive, you understand? I would have preferred that, but once they mentioned it, I didn't want to embarrass them. You know what I mean? Because they didn't have any authority to name that street anyhow; it was up to the mayor and the city council to name that street. You understand? FB: I see. NN: So being that they mentioned my name and it was publicized, you know, I went 3 ahead and took it to city council, I said, “It's up to you, what you want to do you do, but this is my preference, Blythe Andrews Drive.” But the board, being that it was mentioned in the press and whatnot, named it in my honor. FB: In your election for mayor—let’s talk about the last one. Did blacks play any role in your election? NN: Very much. FB: What role did the black vote play? Can you tell us about that? NN: I got the majority of the black vote.

  • Making a Sunbelt Place: Tampa, Florida, 1923–1964
    MAKING A SUNBELT PLACE: TAMPA, FLORIDA, 1923 – 1964 By ALAN J. BLISS A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2010 1 © 2010 Alan J. Bliss 2 To my wife Lynn, with gratitude for traveling a long highway with me 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Such success as this project may enjoy owes to many teachers at both Santa Fe Community College and the University of Florida. No one has been more influential in my academic life than the remarkable Robert Zieger, now Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of Florida. Since the day in 1998 when I appeared in his office doorway, he has skillfully supervised my undergraduate honors thesis, my master’s paper, and this dissertation. He has made me a historian, and pulled it off with a deft combination of scholarly rigor, expertise, and good humor. I count our professional relationship and our friendship as my good fortune. My thanks also go to Barbara Oberlander of Santa Fe Community College, who aimed me in the direction of a distant goal, and referred me to Robert Zieger. In addition to Bob Zieger as chair, my dissertation committee included Jack Davis, Joseph Spillane, Jeffrey Needell, and Grant Thrall. Their perspectives on my project varied, but their thoughtful criticism throughout the research and writing process encouraged me and improved my work. Contrary to what some outside the academy may believe, to members of the graduate faculty at a research institution such as the University of Florida, every working hour is precious.

Collection, Tampa Hillsborough County Public Library System) Walk down Seventh Avenue in Ybor City (now a section of Tampa, Florida) and feel yourself transported to a place in another time. Brick streets are lined with sidewalks of hexagonal concrete pavers and old-fashioned, cast-iron street lamps. Buildings present ornate porticos, decorative brickwork, handmade wrought-iron balconies, and ornamental tile work. A few small, plain workers' cottages, once home to Ybor City's cigar workers, have been preserved. Mutual aid society clubhouses indicate the importance of benevolent organizations to Ybor City's immigrant population. On a quiet corner lies a small park dedicated to Cuban poet and revolutionary José Martí. The park is a reminder of Martí's efforts to gain support for the cause of Cuban freedom in the 1890s. These historic sites speak of Ybor City's intriguing past.

  • The Shelter Revolution: Housing and Community Planning In
    THE SHELTER REVOLUTION: HOUSING AND COMMUNITY PLANNING IN TAMPA BAY, FLORIDA, 1940-1990 AN ABSTRACT SUBMITTED ON THE TWENTY-FIFTH DAY OF JUNE 2017 TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SCHOOL OF LIBERAL ARTS OF TULANE UNIVERSITY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY Peyton Lee Jones ! Abstract: In the last half of the twentieth century, a major transformation occurred in American residential living. While in the 1950s and 1960s the single-family, detached home dominated residential development, in the 1970s and 1980s new forms of residential dwellings and communities, ranging from private retirement communities, to mobile homes and trailer parks, to condominiums, to gated, privately governed “towns,” proliferated across the metropolitan landscape. The changes in residential living, what can be understood as a “shelter revolution,” played an integral role in the spatial, political, and social formation of metropolises in the Global South. This dissertation examines the “shelter revolution” in Tampa Bay, Florida, between 1940 and the 1985. In so doing, it explores the changing relationship between housing and community design, community formation, and residential and metropolitan political culture. It argues that changes in residential living fueled and shaped metropolitan growth and expansion. At the same time, innovations in residential design and development, along with new legal instruments of property ownership, altered the residential experience. Over time, these changes rippled throughout metropolitan life, transfiguring the built environment and transforming the ways Americans built, purchased, and experienced residential housing and community. These changes drove the physical, cultural, and economic formation of the Tampa Bay, from a series of scattered urban settlements into a regional metropolis.

Italians were the second largest non-black minority group behind Mexicans to be lynched, and in understanding the circumstances surrounding those acts of extrajudicial violence, a pattern is apparent. Lynchings of Italians in Louisiana emerged out of fear of the Black Hand (La Mano Nera), and the Mafia, whereas the sole incident of an Italian being lynched in Tampa occurred as a result of a strike, and the larger specter of labor militancy.

I also thank Jack Davis, Joseph Spillane, Jessica Harland-Jacobs, Trysh Travis, and Lillian Guerra for serving on my dissertation committee. I also extend many thanks to my colleagues at Polk State College, where I have taught for the past ten years. As a new faculty member, Jude Ryan’s enduring—yet concealed—belief in innate human goodness and the power of the college experience to uncloak it, helped make my first years as an idealistic history teacher the most professionally fulfilling of my life. My biggest debt of intellectual gratitude goes out to Lj Russum, who I also befriended at Polk State. The interindustrial lens, which is a centerpiece of this dissertation, was conceived through a series of long, meandering, and fruitful conversations with Lj. Lj’s comments and criticisms also vastly improved Chapter 4. More than anyone else, Lj has helped me understand the pleasures, perils, and frustrations of academic pursuits. I also thank Polk State for awarding me the Banking Endowed Teaching Chair in 2011, and for financially supporting this project. The bulk of this dissertation is based on sources archived at the University of South Florida Special Collections, the Hillsborough County public library system, and the City of Tampa Archives.
