YT Wednesday: Once a Black Owned Beach Resort – Legacy of a Stolen Black Owned Beach | Bruce’s Beach (California) is our documentary of the week.
In 1912, Charles and Willa Bruce bought a piece of land by the beach in Manhattan Beach, California. A resort was built on that land for Black beachgoers to enjoy at a time when beaches were segregated.
What became of that resort is a tragedy that is a prime example of systemic racism.
