"A posthumous collection of over 200 ... photographs that document the history and cultural impact of the Asian American social justice movement, through the lens of ... photographer Corky Lee--the man who sought to change the world one photograph at a time. Using his camera as his pen and sword, Corky Lee documented Asian American-Pacific Islander communities for fifty continuous years, breaking the stereotype of Asian Americans as docile, passive, and, above all, foreign to this country. [This] is a ... retrospective of his life's work--a selection of the best photographs from his vast collection, including those he personally chose before he passed, from his start in New York's Chinatown to his coverage of diverse Asian American communities across the country"--
