The Soviets to this day continue to control the land and its people. an occupation the United States has never recognized. Remarkably. the brave Lithuanian people have withstood centuries of relentless pressure to abandon their religion. their culture. and their language. Their success in preserving that culture as immigrants to the New World has not only guaranteed their cohesion as a community. but has produced innumerable contributions to American society. In the last century Lithuanians joined in the building of our new land as foundrymen in western Pennsylvania. weavers in New England and New Jersey. tanners In Philadelphia. dockworkers in Cleveland. and tailors in Baltimore. Today their descendants are leading members of the professional. business. artistic. and academic communities.
