Los Angeles County can soon return a piece of oceanfront land in Manhattan Beach to its original Black owners — thanks to a first-of-its-kind bill that’s on its way to Gov. Gavin Newsom.

A state Senate bill to give L.A. County the authority to transfer two parcels of land to the descendants of Willa and Charles Bruce cleared the last legislative hurdle on Thursday evening, Sept. 9. The Senate unanimously passed SB 796 on the eve of the legislative session ending.
