Two Dragons in Hollywood: Bruce Lee, Anna May Wong, and the Past and Future of Asian American Representation

A Special Night with Katie Gee Salisbury (Not Your China Doll: The Wild Shimmering Life of Anna May Wong)

Presented by the Brooklyn Public Library and the Center for Brooklyn History

This program is offered in partnership with the Asian American Arts Alliance and the Sunset Park Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library.

Join acclaimed biographers Jeff Chang (Water Mirror Echo: Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America) and Katie Gee Salisbury (Not Your China Doll: The Wild and Shimmering Life of Anna May Wong) for a timely and powerful conversation about two iconic trailblazers who redefined what it meant to be Asian American in the reels and in real life. From Hollywood’s golden age to the birth of martial arts cinema and into the age of Asian America, Anna May Wong and Bruce Lee fought to claim their stories—and helped shape the ongoing struggle for visibility, pride, and power in popular culture.
