	The Militant - Dec. 13, 1999 -- Cuban editor speaks on art and culture at New Jersey campus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Quoting 19th century Cuban revolutionary leader José Martí, who said that "to be cultured is to be free," Codina stressed that access to culture, in its broadest sense, is intertwined with social advance on every front.
		Codina said that Cuba was the subject of "three blockades"—the economic embargo maintained by Washington since the triumph of the revolution 40 years ago, the impact of the collapse of favorable trade relations with the Soviet Union at the opening of the 1990s, and the problems caused by errors within the revolution.
		One example of the strength of the Cuban revolution today is the growing number of initiatives to embrace the cultural contributions of Cuban artists living in the United States and other countries, regardless of whether they are supporters of the revolution.
