Join Society members for a visit to the Chinese Historical Society of America’s newly renovated museum and art gallery, located in the historic Julia Morgan YWCA building in Chinatown.
We will visit their current exhibit, a major retrospective on Bruce Lee, where we will see the actor as not only a martial arts expert, but also a visionary, a thinker, and a unifier. A native son of Chinatown, his experiences with discrimination helped shape his unique worldview. The Museum also has historical paintings and photographs on view, showcasing the history of the Chinese presence in San Francisco.
Following our visit to CHSA, we will walk to the murals created by the late artist Hung Liu for the Chinese for Affirmative Action Committee. The walk will be led by Chris Ahn, who participated in the restoration of these murals. She has been designated by Hung Liu as the guardian of the murals.
After the visit, attendees can choose to join an optional no-host lunch at a nearby restaurant.
Please be reminded that SAA in-person events will follow current health protocols.
