Dear admirers of Nikola Tesla,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attached you will find photographs from the Smithsonian National Museum of American History<\/strong>, clearly showing that Thomas Edison is prominently represented<\/strong>, while Nikola Tesla is almost entirely absent<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is time to understand how the system works in the United States<\/strong>, including within institutions such as the Smithsonian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am often asked:
\u201cWhy is Nikola Tesla not represented at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer is simple \u2014 someone has to do the work<\/strong>.
If you are asking who will do it, and whether you expect the Tesla Science Foundation<\/strong> to do it alone, please understand this:
real change does not begin with criticism, but with work, planning, and participation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you do not know how this is done, look at how Edison became so widely represented<\/strong> \u2014 not only at the Smithsonian, but in textbooks, museums, films, and the broader public narrative across America.
That did not happen by accident. It was the result of decades of organized effort, funding, institutional cooperation, advocacy, and consistent presence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, I ask respectfully:
no empty criticism<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I welcome:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
