Bruce Lees Gravesite On the first of December, my girlfriend Nadia and I decided to do our fieldwork project on Bruce Lee and Brandon Lee’s gravesite. Driving on a Sunday afternoon, I did not expect to hit traffic. Upon arrival, we did not expect to hit a sudden rush of fog. The location of Bruce and Brandon Lee’s gravesite was in Capitol Hill in Seattle, Washington. The place was called Lakeview Cemetery. We did not know the exact location of the gravesite. The cemetery was so big, that there could’ve been an easily couple thousand people there. We noticed a group of people and cars parked at a certain area of the cemetery. So I decided we should check them out, and when we did, we found the gravesite. Brandon Lee was buried next to his father when he died. We managed to take a couple of pictures. To briefly describe Bruce Lee (27 November 1940 – 20 July 1973), he was a Chinese martial artist and the founder of Jeet Kune Do. He was also the father of actor Brandon Lee and actress Shannon Lee. The fieldwork project had made me learn more about the legendary martial artist Bruce Lee and made me learn more about him and his family. Going out to do my homework and learning the history of this man has taught me that Asian Americans are well known in this country. There were a lot of people visiting his gravesite till now. When I was there today, there were at least 6 people with us not including the 5 I was with. As we were leaving we saw 4 more people walking in.

I'm glad you were able to do some research on Bruce Lee for the project. I learned from Nadia's blog that it took a while to get to the cemetery, so I'm glad it all worked out. I would like to know more about what you think the significance of Bruce Lee is to the Asian American community. Why is it important that Asian Americans are known and recognized? Follow through with that line of discussion.
