The family’s ancestors, who were Black, owned a seaside resort in Manhattan Beach, but eminent domain took the land from them in the 1920s.
The Bruce family will sell two Manhattan Beach parcels to Los Angeles County, officials announced Tuesday, Jan. 3, fewer than six months afterthat once belonged to their ancestors in an act of property-based reparations.
That land current has a county lifeguard station on it. The county has a two-year lease with the Bruces, with the former paying the latter $413,000 annually. The family has already informed the county that it wants to sell the property, according to Hahn, who spearheaded the legislative effort to return the land to the Bruces.
But Manhattan Beach used eminent domain to take control of the land, along with other nearby properties, in the late 1920s. The city’s eminent domain effort, historical records show, was motivated by a desire to force Black people out of Manhattan Beach. Then in July, the county handed the deed to Willa and Charles Bruce’s great-grandson and great-great grandsons — Derrick, Marcus, Anthony and Michael Bruce — marking what public officials and the Bruce family have called the nation’s first apparent act of property-based reparations.
