Miami's Freedom Tower, a historic landmark and former refuge for Cuban exiles, reopens as a museum. After decades of neglect, the 14-story building underwent a $65 million renovation. The museum showcases the experiences of Cuban refugees who arrived between 1962 and 1974, highlighting their journey to freedom and contributions to Miami's vibrant culture. The reopening comes amid current political debates about immigration, prompting reflection on America's history with welcoming immigrants. The museum aims to remind people of immigrants' achievements and the importance of opportunity.
