After a unanimous vote in the California Legislature, the state has returned a beachfront parcel of land that was taken from the Bruce family nearly 100 years ago. California State Sen.

Bradford gives both the book, Living the California Dream: African American Leisure Sites during the Jim Crow Era and its author Alison Rose Jefferson a shout out.)
