Oakland has honored martial arts legend Bruce Lee by renaming the intersection at Broadway and Garnet Street to 'Bruce Lee Way,' recognizing the site where he operated his martial arts studio in the 1960s. The unveiling ceremony included Lee's daughter, Shannon, who highlighted Oakland's significant role in her father's development as a martial artist. City leaders, including Councilmember Rebecca Kaplan, praised Lee's contributions to martial arts and his impact on breaking down stereotypes of Asian Americans. The street sign commemorates not only Lee's legacy as a martial artist and actor but also as a writer and philosopher. Lee, who passed away in 1973 at the age of 32, is celebrated for his philosophy and teachings, which continue to inspire many today. Although his original studio is gone, replaced by a parking lot, the newly named street serves as a lasting tribute to his influence in Oakland and beyond.
