PETITION FOR LAND DONATION
Our committee in behalf of the Cuban Community and in
sponsorship with A.G.U.E. (Association of Spanish and Foreign
Medical Graduates) do herein petition the County of Dade, Mayor
Steve Clark and the Board of County Commissioners to donate a
parcel of land for the purpose of erecting a monument as a symbol
of hope and in remembrance of those Cubans who not only have died
fighting against tyranny and oppression, but those whose human
rights were so mercilessly obliterated, those who died with their
comrades and those who have died alone, those who have since been
forgotten and those who still hold a special place in our hearts
and in our memory and those whose courage held no boundary who
have died at sea in their quest for freedom.
This monument will encompass the courage, commitment,
resourcefulness, sacrifices and endurance of all those who have
given their lives in the pursuit of truth and justice.
This committee has commissioned internationally known Cuban
sculptor Tony Lopez to bring to life in his art the spirit and
commitment of our cause.
The following proposed sights have been selected by our
committee for your consideration, to wit:
