Re: “An Open Apology to Ercoles,” advertisement in  The Beach Reporter, 5/13/21 It is presumptuous to presume what businesses would or would not have survived and why; or if the displaced families would have sold their property long before it produced the wealth that today’s owners have reaped. Simply put, the Bruce family was not allowed to try. Many of your arguments are solid, based on the historical examples you used with one very basic flaw. Unlike Chavez Ravine, eminent domain was exercised on the owners of Bruce’s Beach to rid Manhattan Beach of people of color. The presumed action was for what was determined to be a much-needed park. That park, upon which the whole “process” was based, was not built until decades later. It was a racist act that LA County, not the city of Manhattan Beach, has deemed worthy of addressing. I applaud them for doing so.
