- Bruce's Beach is an African-American beach resort at Manhattan Beach in Los Angeles County, California. The property, which was located at 26th Street and Highland Avenue, was owned and operated by Charles and Willa Bruce for the benefit of the black community when racial segregation prevented them from enjoying opportunities provided at other beaches in the area. After it opened in 1912, it became a successful and popular visitor destination for African Americans. However, in 1924 the city of Manhattan Beach council used eminent domain to close it down on the grounds that the area was to be redeveloped as a public park. The property, acquired from the Bruce family and other owners, remained undeveloped for decades. Part of the site was eventually turned into a park in the 1960s and renamed Bruce's Beach in 2007. A lifeguard facility and parking lot were constructed on the beach parcels. The LA County Supervisors voted unanimously to approve returning the county land to the heirs of Charles and Willa Bruce. The complex process of transferring the parcels to their great-grandsons was completed in 2022. (en)
- Bruce's Beach est une ancienne plage de la station balnéaire de Manhattan Beach, dans le comté de Los Angeles, en Californie, acheté en 1912 et exploitée par Charles et Willa Bruce, un couple afro-américain. Le complexe permettait aux membres de la communauté afro-américaine de bénéficier d'opportunités non disponibles dans d'autres zones de plage en raison de la ségrégation raciale en vigueur. La propriété est reprise par la ville par une procédure d'expropriation en 1924, et elle est fermée, puis elle est transformée en parc municipal dans les années 1960. Elle prend son nom actuel de Bruce's Beach en 2007. La plage devrait être restituée aux descendants des Bruce, première restitution à une famille noire d'un terrain expropriée durant la ségrégation aux États-Unis. (fr)
