Thank you @cnn @stephelamtv and @donlemoncnn for this incredible interview with our founder @kavonward1 on this momentous victory in returning #BlackLandBack to its rightful owners!!
Thank you @elleusa for this impeccable interview highlighting our founder @kavonward1 and our movement @justiceforbrucesbeach !!! The conversation around reparations for #BlackLandBack started with us and continues with @whereismyland !!! Join the antiracist conversation!!!
Lots of callers calling in to public comment this morning to support returning Bruce's Beach. As former Manhattan Beach Mayor Mitch Ward (and the only African American to have held that office) just said: "The whole world is watching." 🙌
Thank you everyone for your support.
We have a lot of work to do, but I am committed to getting this done and getting it done right. You can watch our Board meeting at the link below. We should be taking up the item in the afternoon.

Now that LA County has the legal authority to return Bruce's Beach, today our Board will vote to officially start the process.
1st step is confirming Willa & Charles Bruce's legal heirs. Then, we'll enter discussions with the family about how they want their property returned.
Today’s the day! We’re excited to join @decolonizingwealth & @LiberatedCapital as a #Case4Reparations grantee partner! To @justiceforbrucesbeach, #Reparations is about advocating for other Black families through Justice for Bruce’s Beach, @whereismyland and beyond.
The historical significance of Black Land stolen and regained through antiracist legislation has been our aim since our inception. We look forward to amplifying our work for much needed change!!!

Senator @SteveBradford's leadership has put correcting a historic injustice within our grasp. SB 796 allows for LA County to return Bruce’s Beach to the Bruce family. I look forward to this bill reaching @GavinNewsom's desk and proudly support @SupJaniceHahn in getting this done.
Excited to announce the redistribution of $1.7M to our inaugural 23 #Case4Reparations Grantee Partners to support mvmnt-building & advocacy efforts to advance #Reparations in the US. These orgs are making crucial strides in this work. Learn more:
