California Beachfront Taken From 1920s Black Couple Given To Heirs

The video discusses a landmark case of land reparation in Southern California, where a black family, the Bruces, had their beachfront property taken under eminent domain in the 1920s. The land, originally purchased by Charles and Willa Bruce, was intended to be a resort for black people but was seized by Manhattan Beach. Decades later, the land has been returned to their descendants, who now lease it back to the county. This case highlights the broader issue of land taken from black families and the ongoing efforts to reclaim it, led by activists like Kevin Ward.
