BRUCE'S BEACH (THE DOCUMENTARY) FINAL

ALISON R. JEFFERSON, PHD. in association with THE SIXSENSE FOUNDATION music videos & consumer multimedia presents ...
A 100-Year Journey to Justice...
Los Angeles County’s groundbreaking effort to right historic wrongs by returning the beachfront property wrongfully seized from Black owners a century ago. This is a look behind the scenes showing the tenacity and ingenuity of the County team working without a playbook to accomplish what had never been done before.
This effort follows a more than a 5 year-long process that began in
Summer 2017-Present Day when Los Angeles County Supervisors Janice Hahn and Holly Mitchell announced their intention to have Los Angeles County return the beachfront property once owned by Charles and Willa Bruce to their legal heirs. Their property was taken from them by the City of Manhattan Beach in an act motivated by racism and a desire to drive out a successful Black business and its patrons.
For more information on the history of Bruce’s Beach, see the City of Manhattan Beach’s History Advisory Board Report, researched and assembled by the History Advisory Board with initial research and contributions by the Bruce’s Beach Task Force History Subcommittee.
See the book "Living the California Dream: African American Leisure Sites during the Jim Crow Era (University of Nebraska Press, 2020) by Alison Rose Jefferson", for a robust examination of the one hundred-year legacy and history of Bruce’s Beach and its broader context in the regional and national African American experience and American identity.
