LA County Supervisor says US must give stolen land to black families Harriet Alexander For Dailymail.com © Provided by Daily Mail MailOnline logo
The United States should follow the example of Los Angeles County and make amends with black Americans by returning land which was owned by their ancestors and taken from them, the county supervisor has said.
Janice Hahn on April 9 announced a historic first for the nation, giving back land wrongfully taken from black owners to their descendants.
The land in question, a beachfront plot in Manhattan Beach, Los Angeles, was taken from the owners under eminent domain, or forced sale, in 1924. It is now worth an estimated $72 million.
