He's in good company, Galileo, Howard Hughes, and especially Nikola Tesla, were marginalized.
Here's a story: The Story of Mouseland


"In this story the mice in the land elect cats into public office. When unhappy with the performance of the Black cats, they vote them out and elect white cats. When the white cats fail the mice. They vote some white and black cats to try and do a better job, calling it a "coalition". Then when that doesn't work, one mouse gets the notion, "why not elect a mouse into office?"
They call the mouse a bolshivek and lock him up. But... you can't lock up an idea. And in the case of Tommy Douglas, he was elected into office, founded the Canadian national health care system, and became known as the greatest Canadian of all time."

This non-animated version is pretty cool..
