Alums produce video of anti-racist poetry performance

Alums Quinn Russell Brown (’13, Society, Ethics & Human Behavior) and Aaron Middleton (‘13, Media & Communication Studies) produced a short video of local artist Troy Osaki’s poetry performance, “Year of the Dragon,” a homage to martial arts legend Bruce Lee and his struggle against racism. When Brown first heard Osaki recite the poem at a fundraiser months earlier, he was deeply moved and approached Osaki about creating a video. Brown then reached out to Middleton, a long-time collaborator, whom he met at UW Bothell, and Middleton immediately signed on.
