A Black family bought a California beach for $1,225 in 1912. A century later, their descendants sold it back for $20 million. But between those two moments, the city stole it through eminent domain, paying just $14,500 after they sued for $120,000. 😳 In 2022, LA County returned the deed, the first land return of its kind in American history. There are more families like the Bruces still waiting. Let's work together to reclaim what was taken at BlackLandcestry.com. ✊🏾

Always wondered why freed slaves just didn’t head West After the Civil War. Sure this would have happened, repeatedly.

More of the same. Why won’t yt folks leave Black ppl alone? They can’t stand to see/know Black ppl can succeed even when everything is set up against us!

It’s always a Black woman 👏🏿 👏🏿👏🏿 Sold it for $20 million hurts my soul… they would probably make $20 million off the land in 1 year. 😢
