A Miami Statue in honor of Celia Cruz

During her lifetime, Celia Cruz was an integral part of Miami’s affluent community, both as an entertainer and as a generous philanthropist. Her roots in South Florida run deep and she was always present and a big protagonist when her community needed her. She was a icon of community values at an artistic and social consciousness level. A symbol erected in her honor would perpetuate her legacy in the heart of her beloved community, a community that loved her dearly in returns.
