[Rhiannon12866]

After a unanimous vote in the California Legislature, the state has returned a beachfront parcel of land that was taken from the Bruce family nearly 100 years ago. California State Sen. Steven Bradford (D), who wrote the bill, says the measure corrects “a horrible injustice” that denied the Bruce family the right to build generation wealth “simply because of racism.” Aired on 10/05/2021.

By robbing the Bruce family of their property, they were denied the opportunity to generate generational wealth that they could have passed down to their descendants.

This wrong has now been corrected!
