Editor's note: This article was originally published on April 13, 2021. It has since been updated.

At the time, the area was home to dozens of Black families, and the couple's lodge was filled with the energy and music of Black entertainers. Unfortunately, Charles and Willa Bruce were forcibly removed from their property by city officials, amid severe racial segregation and harassment from white neighbors and the Ku Klux Klan.

Officials, collaborating with lawmakers, aim to return the property—now valued at $75 million, according to CNN.
