A conversation about the controversial Constitutional Handgun Carry Bill in Texas and Eminent Domain as it relates to Bruce's Beach in Manhattan Beach, California, and the County of Los Angeles.
Bruce's Beach was a resort that was owned by and operated by and for members of the 'black' community. It provided the 'black' community with opportunities unavailable at other beach areas because of segregation.
The property was acquired via eminent domain proceedings in the 1920s and closed down. Chief Duane Yellowfeather Shepard is the official spokesman and a descendant of the Bruce family as a member of an indigenous tribe.
This particular story is one that stands out to me because of my native history in Los Angeles and having frequent that location in the past.
My great-grandmother was 20 at the time this took place. To date, I'm uncertain as to whether or not she had been to the resort. I am however curious if she did. During this period, she resided closer to central Los Angeles, slightly north and to the west in a district called Echo Park/Angeleno Heights.
