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.
Kavon Ward vividly remembers the sunny day in September 2021 when she won. When Black people won.
Most of their descendants don’t live in Southern California anymore. And Bruce’s Beach isn’t zoned for development, so building another profitable business on the property would take years of negotiations with the state Coastal Commission and Manhattan Beach, the latter of which still won’t even apologize.
And there are other questions roiling the movement, too. Among them: What exactly are we fighting for? What happens if we can’t reach an agreement on what we’re fighting for? And, perhaps most important, what happens if there is no “we”? “It was collective consciousness, not just that family, that allowed that [land] transfer,” she said on KBLA Talk 1580 AM last week. “They have a right to satisfy their individual needs and desires, but some of us have a right not to like it.”
Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn, center, points to a sign explaining the history of Bruce’s Beach at an April 2021 news conference announcing the process of returning the property to the family of Willa and Charles Bruce., laying out public opinion for reparations. The findings aren’t promising.
