​NEW YORK – A bust of the famous Serbian-American scientist Nikola Tesla,
made by academic sculptor Bojan Mikulic, was handed over to the New Yorker
Hotel in Manhattan to be officially unveiled at a ceremony on January 10,
the U.S.-based Tesla Science Foundation stated in a release. The bust of
Nikola Tesla will be placed in the central lobby of the New Yorker Hotel,
which will host the *Tesla Commemorative Conference on January 10, 2015*
with an aim to include Tesla and his work into the school curriculums
across the U.S., the release states. The Serbian inventor made most of his
inventions in the U.S. and held the U.S. citizenship for nearly 60 years.
He was a resident of the New Yorker Hotel from 1933 to his death on
Orthodox Christmas, January 7, 1943. The unveiling of the bust, the
conference and the gala dinner will be organized by President and Founder
of Tesla Science Foundation Nikola Loncar, Consul General of the Republic
of Serbia to New York Mirjana Zivkovic, father Djokan Majstorovic of St.
Sava Church in New York, and many others committed to promoting the legacy
of one of the most important inventors of the 20th century. “The conference
will bring together around 30 experts in this field, and we consider it to
be the most important thing that Serbian diaspora can and should do for
Tesla,” said Loncar. The Foundation has so far presented the busts of Tesla
to the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade, the cities of Leskovac (in Serbia) and
Banjaluka (in BiH), the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, and the city of
Rahway, New Jersey, the foundation president said. Bronze reliefs of Tesla
will be awarded to the first 100 schools in the U.S. that include Tesla
into their curriculum, while a bust will be presented to every school that
bears the name of the great scientist, added Loncar
