Justice: Nearly a century ago, a California town took away a Black couple’s stretch of the Pacific coastline, among many illegal seizures of land owned by people of color. Last week, after a long campaign, Los Angeles County now will lease the land from the Bruce family’s descendants; the agreement includes the option for the county to purchase the property for $20 million, Nat Geo reports. (Pictured above, an advocate for returning the land, Kavon Ward, looks at the ocean and Bruce’s Beach.)
