Tiesa (truth) was a Lithuanian-language newspaper published by the Association of Lithuanian Workers (Lithuanian: Lietuvių darbininkų susivienijimas), a fraternal benefit society, from 1930 to 2006 when the association merged into the Supreme Council of the Royal Arcanum.[3] The full collection of Tiesa issues is preserved at the Tamiment Library and Robert F. Wagner Archives in microfilm format.[3]
The Association of Lithuanian Workers was established in June 1930 as a communist-leaning splinter of the Lithuanian Alliance of America.[4] The new society established its own publication, Tiesa, which was distributed to association's members free of charge. The association was based in Brooklyn, then Ozone Park, and since 1982 in Middletown, New York.[5]
