The “We Are Bruce Lee” exhibition will be at the Chinese Historical Society of America (CHSA) museum. CHSA is the oldest organization in the country dedicated to the interpretation, promotion, and preservation of the social, cultural and political history and contributions of the Chinese in America.

When founded in 1963, there were fewer than 250,000 people of Chinese descent living in the US and CHSA was a lone voice for the study and dissemination of the history of this segment of the US population. Today, as the number of Chinese in the US has risen to nearly 5 million, CHSA strives to be a responsible steward of the remarkable narrative of this rapidly growing and increasingly visible community.

CHSA promotes the contributions and legacy of the Chinese in America through its exhibitions, publications, and educational and public programs in the Museum and Learning Center. CHSA is housed in the landmark Julia Morgan-designed Chinatown YWCA building.

CHSA offers tours of the Museum and the surrounding Chinatown community for a nominal charge. CHSA has extended its reach with online content and online exhibits through its main portal chsa.org, sharing information and news through Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr, and sharing photographs through Instagram. CHSA collaborates with others who want to share their stories and experiences through film screenings, book readings, presentations, workshops, panel discussions and so much more.
