Presenting the Jimmy Quiroga (R) Designs Libertad - Freedom Tower 100 Years Pin. This year, Miami’s first skyscraper, and National Historic Landmark, turns 100! In celebration of this milestone, Miami Dade College, to which the tower was donated in 2005, is unveiling a completely renovated tower, with immersive multimedia exhibitions which highlight the Freedom Tower’s iconic history -from its early days as the Miami Daily News headquarters to its role as a Cuban refugee center, where hundreds of thousands of Cuban exiles were welcomed to the United States. It has been known as “the Ellis Island of the South”. Jimmy Quiroga, and his wife, our CEO Vivian Quiroga, Esq., are honored to be part of the Libertad Host Committee, along with other luminaries and pillars of our Miami community. The Libertad pin will be a limited edition handcrafted sterling silver and enamel homage to this great landmark and milestone. The first pin in production was presented to MDC President Madeline Pumariega by Jimmy & Vivian. They will be gifted to special Libertad board members and donors, and will also be available by special order. A piece of our Miami history!
