Description

In this episode of Tales from South Florida, we dive deep into the 100ʳᵗʰ anniversary of the iconic Freedom Tower in downtown Miami. We trace its journey from a 1925 newspaper skyscraper to the famed “Ellis Island of the South” for Cuban refugees, and now a restored museum celebrating migration, memory and hope. Join us for a warm and conversational stroll through Miami’s past, present and cultural heartbeat.
