The artist hosted events bringing together Asian American and
African American seniors and youth. Participants created artwork
communicating their thoughts and feelings about Bruce Lee. Given Bruce
Lee’s value of racial unity, each individual’s square was “woven” into the
artist’s painted center panel, which is inspired by classic martial arts
movie posters.
