Los Angeles County officials formally presented the deed to a portion of Manhattan Beach property to the descendants of a Black family who had the land taken 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.
"My family declared that this was sacred land, and I was going to do everything I could to get it back," said Chief Duane"Yellowfeather" Shepard, another member of the Bruce family at Wednesday's ceremony. The section of the property closest to the beach, including the lots owned by the Bruce family, was owned by the state and it took a new law,, which was sponsored by California State Senator Steven Bradford, to transfer it to the family.
