This month, on July 20, marks 50 years since the death of legendary martial arts actor Bruce Lee. Born in San Francisco, Lee was the most visible Asian American in Hollywood in the 1960s and 70s. His influence is still felt today. In fact, a new season of the TV series, "Warrior" honors Lee's legacy and San Francisco Chinatown.
