- The Bruce family contacted Public Counsel in 2020 to explore whether there was a legal remedy to return land that had been stolen from their ancestors nearly 100 years ago by the City of Manhattan Beach. Our team helped oversee the legal research and advocacy for this victory, and coordinated with pro bono attorneys from Kirkland & Ellis; Munger, Tolles & Olson; and Sidley Austin. Throughout the two-year journey, we stayed connected with the family and are so excited to have helped facilitate this historic victory!
Thank you Public Counsel for helping this family take back what was hers!
Finally JUSTICE! This was an excellent story. I'm so happy and proud of all the people who worked toward setting this wrong right! This was an excellent story.
So happy this family land, was returned back to them. Now, we need to help the rest of the "Black" (Negro, Colored, etc) families, across the U.S. that were in similar situations! I say "Black" with other bywords in parentheses because that's how we were/are classified. It's never too late.
Thank you ! Let's help others get their land back as well
Wonderful, justice at last! So many of us have lost generational wealth through use of immanent domain. My great grandfather had 100 acres stolen from him through immanent domain.
It's so hard for us African Americans. Calls that don't get return because their trying to find out your race behind the phone ect. People will never understand, they'll just continue to roll their eyes and ignore us.
I fully understand but the change is now
Us smh they are going to sell it back to the city
It was their best way of gaining financially from it because current codes prevent any type of building or expanding.
Now we need America back
Wow this is Justice no matter how long it takes.😊😊
JUSTICE AND RECOMPENSE. THANK YOU, AND ABOUNDING BLESSINGS!
Hopefully , this would help other families in the Lowcountry to reclaim their land
Wow amazing it’s never too late to right wrongs
Two Wongs don't make a White.
Imagine, all of those families that also lost property that rightfully belonged to them. It’s been said, countless of families lost property that should have rightfully been returned. Unfortunately, in most instances they’ll find some type of loophole pleading they ATTEMPTED to locate family members when in fact they had no interest in doing so.
It should have never happen. Those people's land were taken from them twice.
What about the all the lost revenue and wealth to this family?! They had a thriving business before it was stolen by the city.
Correction. City purchased the property for $14,500.
No they forcefully bought it. It's like someone taking your $10k Rolex and being like here's $500
And these fools are selling it right back to the man. Smh
Let the the sun shine on
🥰 heart just skipped a beat!
This is just the beginning. All places where land was stolen from FBA will be given back! Reparation federally will be paid out in our lifetime. Praise Yah! Shalom!
If they did this to every black family they will have no place to live but in the ice mountains
Will they get the financial compensation that they lost out on for all those years?
Past time to do what is right!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Now la has one more to fix. All the homes taken over by eminent domain to make room for dodger stadium. Many Hispanic families were also left in ruin once the city came to take their land. Some got paid, some got carried out handcuffed as they had to watch the bulldozers knock down everything they’ve ever known. Restitution is the only way
Don't get happy. They sold the land back to the city for a mere $20mill. The way my heat broke😩

I will be so glad when these people pay for all the atrocities and evil deeds that happened to our families.And is given back in turn to the heirs of these monsters . and they pay for the sins of their mothers and fathers and so on and so forth . We have been paying for our ancestors sin. I don’t hold a grudge but the Bible explains it best!
🙏🏿

only to loose it again for a lousy 20 mil damn
They were after the money…
Jack the king lamb chop
Does anyone seriously believe Simon Rodea walked away from his house in watts and gave his house to his neighbor?
Yeah yeah yep them get all that land back and then they go and sell it back for 20.000000 dollars
Current codes prevent any type of development on it so it was their only way to financially benefit from it.
No no no. They got off too cheap. They are supposed to get the land plus damage stress mental anguish. That's a fraction of what they should get. As a FBA man. I don't cosign this at all
Meanwhile that land is no longer deemed good land
This went rancid like milk left out in the summer. I need this whole transaction opened up for auditing. I smell a 🐀
Exactly. The city had already purchased the property once. Now they are buying it again!? Hope they got a "No Do-Over" clause this time.
Wow, God is good.
Barf lies 🦧🤬🏴☠️ MCA😝🐷
