Honorable Mayor and Commissioners. The undersigners,Cesar Lancis y Benito Alonso-Artigas, professional newswriters and members of the Cuban Autentic Revolutionary Party, are respecfully reques- ting from the Honorable Commission of the City of Miami, to take the initiative steps to named northwest 2nd street from Biscayne boulevard to the Miami river, "Padre O'Farrill". As most of you will remember the Catholic Hispanic Center was located on that street, where so many humanitarian assistance was ministered to the first influx of cuban exiles, flein.g the Marxist regime. We believe that this is a just petition and respectfully request your attention to the excellent qualities and merits of this cuban priest and patriot, being the second catholic priest to be forced to leave Cuba on December 7,1959. From the beginning of his exile years, fry Ramon O'Farrill y del Canal, denoun- ced the crimes being committed in Cuba by the communists to the United Nations, the U.S. Congress, to the Organization of American States and to all human rights organitazions through -out the world. All this was carried out regardless the many threats and persecutions, even in the U.S., from ordained ministers and members of institutions which were in support of Fidel Castro's dictatorial re- gime. This man of God, also dedicated his time to aid and assist his comrades living in the U.S, and those wanting to escape to*freedom. Fr. Ramon O'Farrill y del Canal has proven with his work to be a true and de- dicated evangelist and a man who believes in freedom and human rights. We feel that a man who has given so much deserves this recognition, specially now when his poor health condition may receive it as the wonder drug to boost his weake- ned life.
