On this day in history, January 7, 1943, Nikola Tesla died. Three days later, in a radio eulogy written by Louis Adamic and read by New York City Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, he told millions over the airwaves that “Tesla is not dead. The real, important part of Tesla lives in his achievement.”
At TSCW, those words shape our mission every day. Tesla’s legacy was never meant to belong to one company, one country, or one era — it belongs to humanity, and to the next generation of innovators who will carry his imaginative thinking forward.
“…We celebrate his achievement on Earth, his great triumph, which is our triumph — the triumph of all the people of the world. We celebrate his contributions to our life, to the sum total of civilization and human potentialities in America and everywhere, which will be as permanent as man himself…”
Today, that spirit remains alive at TSCW on Long Island, where we celebrate the enduring legacy of a humanitarian genius whose work became part of daily life and our shared human story.
