| 2003 - Monument to American Nobel Laureates, Roosevelt Park, New York City, New York (USA). "You'll be excused if you're unaware that there's a monument to American Nobel laureates in Theodore Roosevelt Park, behind the American Museum of Natural History. I was until I attended a ceremony there Tuesday evening during which the names of the latest laureates—Peter Diamond and Dale Mortensen, both of whom received the economics prize, and Richard Heck, for chemistry—were unveiled.
It's actually fitting that the rose-colored-stone column, abbreviated obelisk, plinth or however you want to describe it is situated in Theodore Roosevelt Park. In 1906, President Roosevelt was the first American to receive the prize. Since then, the names of 319 other Americans have been added to the list, among them Al Gore in 2007 and Barack Obama in 2009, both for their peace efforts.
One might assume that erecting a monument to American laureates, dedicated in 2003, wouldn't attract a lot of controversy. Then again, this is the Upper West Side. "It took 32 separate meetings," remembered Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe, who was the department's Manhattan borough commissioner under Henry Stern at the time.
"This was not an easy one," agreed Mr. Stern, who also attended the event. "We had one woman on the West Side, an activist, who said it was an outrage because Alfred Nobel invented dynamite... -- Wall Street Journal, September 2011."
