Support Slovak Stories
“My family roots are deep in Slovak, Arkansas. We have much in common with families in my community. Most of us have preserved some of our family history (photos, records, memorabilia, etc.) but have kept them private. As time passes, things get lost--memories fade. Uprooted Media is unlocking these bits of history, allowing them to be shared and preserved.”

“Uprooted Media’s work to preserve and promote multicultural heritage has been incredibly powerful for my family. After Uprooted Media did a podcast featuring my father from Slovakia and my daughter, my daughter used this experience to write her college essay. The sense of connection Uprooted has made possible is nothing short of incredible. I am so glad to see this important work be recognized more broadly.”

“The history of the people who settled the Arkansas Grand Prairie is as rich as our fertile grounds. That is especially true of those who put down roots in Slovaktown. Not only is their Slovak culture unique, the community has maintained and celebrated its culture for 130 years, undiluted and unwavering in who they are and where they originated. Uprooted Media has tapped into those roots, artfully and honestly sharing the history and culture of the Slovak people in a way that makes us all wish we were Slovak.”

UpRooted Media is a nonprofit that functions primarily through direct donations and volunteer hours.
Because we do this work with the intention of creating free access to multicultural history and representation we rely heavily on the support of those who share this same vision.
