'This is what reparations look like': LA County buys BACK $20M prime beachfront property a year after giving it to heirs of black couple who had it seized by city in 1924 - as Board of Supervisors chair says rest of US should follow suit
- The land, originally purchased around 1912 by Charles and Willa Bruce, was recently returned to descendants of the couple in 2022
- The land was seized by the majority white city in 1924 following a racist pressure campaign
- On Tuesday, the chair of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors announced the family had opted to sell the property back to Los Angeles County
- Some have said they wish the family had hung on to the valuable land a while longer while others have said they think the county offered a low ball figure
