Photojournalist Corky Lee’s exhibit

Corky Lee spoke about his work at the Seattle Public Library on May 28. Nearly 100 people attended the event, which included a display of Lee’s work, “Chinese Americans: Inclusion/Exclusion.”

The event was organized by Organization of Chinese Americans (OCA) as part of the Asian American Heritage Month celebration.

For almost 40 years, Lee, a New York-based photographer — dubbed the “undisputed unofficial Asian American photographer laureate” — has captured iconic images of Asian Pacific Americans in political movements and social contexts.
