Bruce's Beach
slideshow
In the early 1900s, there were only a few places in Southern California that African-American families could enjoy the beach. One of those places was at a resort owned by a black family named the Bruces in the coastal town of Manhattan Beach. In 1924, the resort was shut down after it was seized by the city. This Saturday, people will gather to rename that area to Bruce's Beach. Weekend America's Krissy Clark talks with historian Allison Jefferson about the history of Bruce's Beach.
