Not everyone is happy the family of Willa and Charles Bruce are selling their beachfront property for $20 million, just months after it was returned.
Although the Bruce family recently saw its land returned by Los Angeles County, the Bruces have never received compensation for the loss of their successful business. And the other Black families’ land is still owned by the city of Manhattan Beach — and enjoyed by the residents of the city as a public park. To start, the city should return that land to the families who lost it or pay them for the fair market value of the land today.
The return of the land cannot undo the harm caused to the city’s once thriving Black community. The city should take steps — like offering down payment assistance or low-interest loans — to actively encourage more Black home ownership within its limits. The city should also offer other incentives — like subsidized rent — to encourage Black business owners to return to Manhattan Beach.
The reverse is also true: When the government accepts responsibility and couples that responsibility with action to remedy past wrongdoing — our democracy is strengthened. Our trust in, and respect for, our government institutions increase, we invest in our democracy, and it remains strong and secure.
