KFI news reporter, Corbin Carson, has won the “Salute to Excellence Award” for Best Documentary from the National Association of Black Journalists for his piece on “This Sand is My Sand: The Stolen Legacy of Bruce’s Beach.”
The two-hour documentary concentrates on property in Manhattan Beach that was stolen from the Bruce family via eminent domain in the 1920s amid threats from the KKK.
Furthermore, the feature contains exclusive interviews with historians, protestors, pundits, and the Bruce family about racism, reparations, and a yearlong campaign to return the $20+ Million-dollar beachfront parcel.
“Proud to be chosen for the 2022 @NABJ Salute To Excellence Award for Best Documentary: “This Sand is My Sand: The Stolen Legacy of Bruce’s Beach,” Carson tweeted on Tuesday.
“Thanks to the Bruce Family (and many others) for letting me tell their powerful story.”
“This Sand is My Sand: The Stolen Legacy of Bruce’s Beach” resulted in the California Governor signing a bill that would return the multi-million-dollar property to descendants of the Bruce family.
