MIAMI — The Miami Freedom Tower is launching its soft opening this week, and curators are looking for more participants in its interactive exhibits.
Often referred to as the “Statue of Liberty of the South,” the Freedom Tower served as a processing center for Cuban exiles fleeing Fidel Castro’s regime in the 1960s.
More than 300 oral histories of those who were processed there have already been recorded. Curators encourage families with ties to the Tower to come and participate in a recording on-site.
The Miami Freedom Tower is at 600 Biscayne Boulevard. For more information about how to contribute to the research archive, visit his page.
