- Nikola Tesla

Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.

О Тесли на Берклију

Организација српских студената на Беркли Универзитету у Калифорнији организовала је 9. фебруара вече посвећено Николи Тесли, а поводом 70 година од смрти овог српског и светског научника. То је уједно било и обележавање Дана Светог Саве, а присуствовало је више од 250 људи, јавља за Програм за дијаспору Нина Вајт са Берклија.

Поред мултимедијалне презентације, вођена је и дискусија о овом нашем научнику светског гласа. Специјални гости су били Роберт Утх и Симонида Утх, аутори документарног филма Tesla Master of Lightning, који је приказан те вечери, и др Богдан Лубардић са Теолошког факултета из Београда. Изведен је и културно-уметнички програм посвећен Светом Сави и Тесли.

Намера српских студената на овом престижном Универзитету је да сваке године, приликом обележавања Дана Св. Саве, представе једног Србина, који је задужио српски народ или свет.

Светосавска академија уприличена је и прошле године када је гостима и посетиоцима презентована прича о Светом Сави, његовом световном и духовном животу и значају.

Serbian Americans: History—Culture—Press

by Krinka Vidaković-Petrov, translated from Serbian by Milina Jovanović

Learned, lucid, and deeply perceptive, SERBIAN AMERICANS is an immensely rewarding and readable book, which will give historians invaluable new insights, and general readers exciting new ways to approach the history​ of Serbian printed media. Serbian immigration to the U.S. started dates from the first few decades of 19th c. The first papers were published in San Francisco starting in 1893. During the years of the most intense politicization of the Serbian American community, the Serbian printed media developed quickly with a growing number of daily, weekly, monthly and yearly publications. Newspapers were published in Serbian print shops, while the development of printing presses was a precondition for the growth of publishing in general. Among them were various kinds of books: classical Serbian literature, folksong collections, political pamphlets, works of the earliest Serbian American writers in America (poetry, prose and plays), first translations from English to Serbian, books about Serb immigrants, dictionaries, textbooks, primers, etc.
