Black Californians demand return of stolen ancestral land.

Descendants of California's earliest Black settlers are seeking reparations for land that was stolen from their ancestors. Families have uncovered documentation showing their ancestors bought land in the state, only to have it seized by the government or white citizens. The families hope their cases will be included in the California reparations task force's final report and list of recommendations, which will be issued to the Legislature at the end of June. The seizing of property not only stunts generational wealth but also destroys culture and history, according to experts.
