Miami’s Freedom Tower: The Ellis Island of the South

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.
