Los Angeles County officials formally presented the deed to a piece of Manhattan Beach property to the descendants of a Black family who had the land stripped away nearly a century ago.
Black families settled in Manhattan Beach in the early 1900s, but the city chased them out. Now the city is confronting its racist past.
The agreement also includes clauses that would allow the Bruces to later sell the property to the county for a price not to exceed $20 million. Willa and Charles Bruce purchased their land in 1912 for $1,225. They eventually added some other parcels and created a beach resort catering to Black residents, who had few options at the time for enjoying the California coast.
The Bruces were undeterred and continued operating their small enclave, but under increasing pressure, the city moved to condemn their property and surrounding parcels in 1924, seizing it through eminent domain under the pretense of planning to build a city park.
