Bruce Lee statue in San Francisco to honor ‘a story for all Americans’

Bronze tribute in actor's hometown to celebrate civil rights advocacy amid rise in violence against Asian Americans

For many, Bruce Lee is the first name that comes to mind when thinking of San Francisco's most iconic figures. Now, the city's Chinatown is honoring that legacy with a statue.

A bronze Bruce Lee statue will be erected in San Francisco's Chinatown, his 1940 birthplace, following a proposal by memorabilia collector Jeff Chinn to the Chinese Historical Society of America.
