California has officially designated May 17 as Bruce Lee Day, making him the first Chinese-American to receive this honor in the state’s history. Governor Gavin Newsom signed the law on Tuesday, as announced by Assemblymember Matt Haney, who represents San Francisco. Bruce Lee, born in San Francisco in 1940, returned to the city on May 17, 1959, at the age of 18. His daughter, Shannon Lee, expressed that this recognition highlights her father's enduring legacy as a cultural bridge. Various Asian-American organizations plan to celebrate Lee annually with cultural events and educational activities across the state.
