How Black activist Kavon Ward found her calling in the fight for Bruce’s Beach

Community Organizer Kavon Ward, co-founder of Where Is My Land and founder of Justice for Bruce’s Beach, is shown at Bruce’s Beach in Manhattan Beach on Thursday, February 17, 2022. Ward, spearheaded the movement to get ownership of Bruce’s Beach land back to descendants of the Black couple Willa and Charles Bruce who ran a Black-serving beach resort at the location. Nearly a century after the property was seized from the Bruce family it will be returned to their descendants. The Bruce property consists of 2 parcels located between the park and the beach. Currently, the Los Angeles Lifeguard Training Center partially sits on the 2 parcels. (Photo by Leonard Ortiz, Orange County Register/SCNG)
