In California, a new annual day of recognition is being established. Bruce Lee, a martial arts icon, will be honored with his own day. He was born in San Francisco, and this designation makes him the first Chinese American in the state's history to receive such recognition.

The day of recognition, known as Bruce Lee Day, will be held on May 17. This was made official when Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law designating this date. The law was signed on a Tuesday afternoon, according to the office of a state Assemblymember.

Further details about Bruce Lee Day can be found through the office of the state Assemblymember or other California state sources.
