The Miami Freedom Tower is a National Historic Landmark, recognized for its importance in American and Cuban-American history in Miami. Often referred to as the “Ellis Island of the South,” it served as the Cuban Assistance Center from 1962 to 1974. During this time, it was a processing center for hundreds of thousands of Cuban refugees who were fleeing Fidel Castro’s communist regime. It provided various services, including medical and dental care, financial aid, and housing and job assistance. The Freedom Tower became a powerful symbol of hope and a new beginning for these refugees. Political Resistance in America article - AVESSA. Photography by Flavio Iryoda.
