MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif.—After a protracted legal process that led to the return of pristine Manhattan Beach coastal property to a black family that had the land stripped from them nearly a century ago, the family has decided to sell the parcel back to the county for $20 million, the county confirmed on Jan. 3.
“This is what reparations look like and it is a model that I hope governments across the country will follow,” Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn said in a statement Tuesday.
