Black Family regained their land, then sold it right back – Dr Boyce Watkins

According to CNN: “Bruce’s Beach, an oceanfront property in Southern California that was taken from Black owners in the Jim Crow era and returned to their descendants last year, will be sold back to Los Angeles County for nearly $20 million, county officials said Tuesday.

Family members of the original landowners, Willa and Charles Bruce, have informed the county of their decision to sell Bruce’s Beach, Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Chair Janice Hahn said in a statement. It’s unclear when the sale will be completed.

“The seizure of Bruce’s Beach nearly a century ago was an injustice inflicted upon not just Willa and Charles Bruce but generations of their descendants who almost certainly would have been millionaires,” Hahn said in the statement.”

Dr Boyce Watkins breaks down the issue and discusses whether or not it’s good to sell the land or if the family should hold onto it.
