I found a great, heartwarming article this morning. When muslims, serbs, and croats all decided they needed a symbol of justice, mastery, and honesty to unify their town, they knew there was only one person they could turn to: Bruce Lee.
The ethnically divided Bosnian city of Mostar has agreed to erect a new symbol of unity — a statue of kung fu legend Bruce Lee, worshipped by Muslims, Serbs and Croats.
A group of enthusiasts came up with the idea of honoring the childhood hero of the city’s ethnic groups in 2003, on the 30th anniversary of his death. They launched the project, found donors and waited a year for the city’s approval.
“We plan to erect the statue in November in the center of the city,” Veselin Gatalo, a member of the Urban Movement organization, told Reuters by telephone Monday.
“This will be a monument to universal justice that Mostar needs more than any other city I know.”
One more thing:
Lee’s widow Linda will be invited to attend the ceremony.
If only we could all be a little bit more like Bruce.
