Over the past seven years the Free Cuba Foundation has organized Jose Marti Lectures on his birthday, January 28, 1853. In 2000 FCF commemorated the birth of Jose Marti by organizing a symposium on racial issues in Cuba with the Association of People of African Ancestry and Culture. Omar Lopez Montenegro, of the Cuban Democratic Directorate issued the keynote speech on race. In1999 FCF commemorated the birth of Jose Marti by organizing a lecture by ex-political prisoner and author Ana Lazara Rodriguez at FIU. In 2004 FCF coordinator Neri Martinez gave a lecture that explored the philosophy of non-violence that animate both Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet and Oswaldo Payá Sardiñas subtitled "Brothers in Thought." Pedro Corzo made the keynote speech in 2005.

The past ten years have demonstrated that with sustained effort guided by principle and technical assistance one can accomplish anything. Everything that has been accomplished is because there has been a willingness to be open to new ideas while at the same time maintaining the core principles of the organization. We thank you for your support in this last decade and we will continue to dedicate ourselves to the struggle for freedom.
