Pensilvanijos valstijoje įvykusi ketvirtoji projekto „Šaknys“ diena tapo viena įsimintiniausių mūsų ekspedicijos akimirkų. Ji mus nukėlė į istorijos puslapius, kur pirmosios lietuvių emigrantų bangos ieškojo geresnio gyvenimo, tačiau dažnai susidurdavo su sunkiais išbandymais. Šią dieną ne tik gilinomės į praeities lietuvių išeivių gyvenimą, bet ir patyrėme unikalių simbolinių akimirkų, kurios sustiprino ryšį su mūsų tautos istorija ir bendruomene.🤗

Atvykome į senus angliakasių miestelius, kuriuose prieš daugiau nei šimtmetį gyveno didžiausios lietuvių bendruomenės. Tai buvo pirmosios emigrantų bangos namai – nuo 1870 iki 1920 metų čia apsigyveno žmonės, bėgantys nuo caro priespaudos. Daugelis vyrų ir net vaikai nuo devynerių metų dirbo anglies kasyklose, kurios buvo ne tik sunkios, bet ir itin pavojingos. Skaudžiausios istorijos – apie našles, kurios po trijų dienų netekčių buvo priverstos iš naujo kurti šeimą dėl ekonominio nepritekliaus, arba apie vyrus, kurie, pažadėję, kad eina į kasyklą paskutinį kartą, daugiau nebegrįždavo pas laukiančias šeimas.

Šią ypatingą dieną taip pat paminėjome Žolinę prie vienos iš dabar jau neveikiančių lietuviškų bažnyčių. Suorganizavome mini pamaldas, prie kurių prisijungė ir dabartiniai vietiniai imigrantai iš Dominikos Respublikos. Procesijos metu, telefone skambant „Sveika Marija“, staiga suskambo traukinio pervažos varpas. Pro mus praūžė garvežys, pilnas anglies vagonų – tarsi gyvas praeities atspindys. Tai buvo ne tik simboliška, bet ir nepakartojama akimirka, kuri nepaliko abejingų.

Ši diena, kaip ir visas projektas „Šaknys“, tapo neįkainojama patirtimi, kuri priminė, kaip svarbu saugoti savo istoriją ir ryšius su protėviais. Po šios kelionės išlieka ne tik neišdildomi įspūdžiai, bet ir gilus suvokimas apie mūsų tautos žmonių tvirtumą ir jų kovą už gyvenimą.🤍

Is it really Emi if she's not out in the middle of nowhere digging at a cemetery?
A month ago, a woman by the name of Anne Tubinis Audette reached out to me with a project that she has been working on since January. She saw that there's a cemetery in Detroit, with one Lithuanian buried there- Jonas Simkus. From then on it became her mission to find his grave.
The only issue is- that it's under decades of dirt....
Yesterday I met with Anne to dig around at the cemetery, in hopes of finding where he's buried. We have a map that gives us an idea of where he is, however the mission continues today. Hopefully Jonas Simkaus grave will be located!

Where do I even begin?

My heart feels so full as summer comes to an end, and I get to look back at photos of everything I was part of.
My favorite, in particular, was being a third-year participant in @projectsaknys.
Diving deep into Lithuanian-American history and having the honor of cleaning and restoring cemeteries that have been left behind, abandoned, overgrown, or forgotten was incredibly meaningful. Although most are inactive, some are still visited but not well-maintained. This year, we visited quite a few and got a lot of work done.
I'm so, so, so happy that I got to share this week in Pennsylvania with great company.
I can't wait for next summer—I truly feel like I grow more and more passionate about this project with every passing year.
