"A historic downtown tower that will be restored after years of decay was rededicated by a Cuban-American group during ceremonies Saturday.The Freedom Tower was home to Miami's first newspaper, guided ships into port and was the place where more than 500,000 sought freedom...The building's one-time use as an immigrant processing center earned it the name Freedom Tower."
