DESCRIPTION:The Chinese Historical Society of America (CHSA) is pleased to\nannounce 
 the long-awaited return of San Francisco Chinatown’s native son as part 
 of its groundbreaking exhibition, We Are Bruce Lee: Under the Sky, One 
 Family. This multimedia collaboration between the Bruce Lee Foundation, top 
 collectors of Bruce Lee memorabilia, and a team of artistic innovators will 
 showcase state-of-the-art engagement to magnify the vision and values of a 
 Chinese American icon who transcended race, geography, and culture. We Are 
 Bruce Lee will debut as part of the re-opening of CHSA museum at 965 Clay 
 Street in San Francisco: CHSA members are invited for a members-only 
 viewing on Saturday, April 23; the exhibit will officially be open to the 
 public on Sunday, April 24.\n\nFor San Francisco Chinatown, this is a 
 proud, heartwarming homecoming for a legendary figure who was born in 
 Chinatown’s own Chinese Hospital in 1940 and grew into an international 
 superstar. This exhibit offers unique perspectives of Bruce beyond martial 
 arts and acting—as a visionary, athlete, thinker, and unifier who fought 
 discrimination with uncanny strength, unwavering resilience, and profound 
 engagement with a multicultural society. Visitors of all ages will learn 
 about his evolution from a kid from Hong Kong to a global pioneering 
 entrepreneur and his immortal influence on fans and followers across 
 generations, backgrounds, and all walks of life.\n\nThe inaugural 
 exhibition breaks ground in San Francisco with a mission to bridge 
 communities from two historic neighborhoods—Chinatown and 
 Fillmore/Western Addition—in an effort to tell the story of 
 cross-community respect and collaboration. The We Are Bruce Lee exhibit 
 features an art gallery curated by African American Art & Culture Complex 
 Co-executive Directors Melonie and Melorra Green showcasing Bruce’s 
 influence on the Black community from the perspective of some of the Bay 
 Area’s premier Black artists and other creatives of color.\n\nThe journey 
 to present this historic exhibition was born as a result of the challenges 
 that Chinese Americans, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI), and 
 San Francisco Chinatown have faced over the past two years. Amid this 
 unrelentingly difficult time for AAPIs, the hardships have become an 
 opportunity to bring light to our community. Through We Are Bruce Lee, CHSA 
 aims to revitalize the Chinatown neighborhood in which Bruce was born; 
 strengthen the Chinese American and AAPI communities; and combat racism and 
 hate by bringing diverse audiences together in solidarity.\n\nAs Bruce 
 himself stated, “Under the sky, under the heavens, there is but one 
 family.”\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2022/03/29/18848850.php
