Editor's note: This article was originally published on April 13, 2021. It has since been updated. Nearly a century ago, a Black couple was compelled to surrender their beachfront resort in Manhattan Beach, California, known for its scenic views. 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. Now, their descendants are likely to receive the property, Los Angeles County officials have stated. Officials, collaborating with lawmakers, aim to return the property—now valued at $75 million, according to CNN.

This is FRESH AIR. I'm Tonya Mosley. Immigration remains a pivotal issue in this presidential election, with former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris presenting starkly different visions for America's immigration policy. Trump has doubled down on his hard-line stance, promising an unprecedented crackdown if reelected. He's vowed on his first day in office to launch the largest deportation operation in U.S. history, ending birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants and reinstating controversial policies like the "Remain in Mexico" program. Harris, on the other hand, says she will attempt to reframe the immigration debate, emphasizing her experience as California's attorney general and prosecuting transnational gangs and human traffickers. She's pledged if elected to revive bipartisan border security legislation and address the root causes of migration from Central America.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

The Indigenous peoples of North America had a deep connection to the land, and their languages reflected their intimate knowledge of their surroundings. Each tribe and nation had its own names for the specific areas they inhabited, often based on the land's natural features, resources, or spiritual significance. These names have been passed down through generations and have held deep meaning and cultural significance. Unfortunately, many of these names were lost or obscured as European colonization progressed and new place names were imposed on the land.
