Bruce's Manhattan Beach

Natural Soul Conversations

Kimbralon B. and Catina L. Irvin join me in exploring the facts of Manhattan Beach, its original owners, the Bruces, how they lost their land, and how they have been working for 97 years to reclaim their land. Xia, R. “Manhattan Beach Was Once Home to Black Beachgoers but the City Ran Them out. Now It Faces a Reckoning.” Los Angeles Times, 2 Aug. 2020, lat.ms/3o2C6Vn. The John Henry Effect: “A tendency for members of the control group in certain experiments to adopt a competitive attitude towards the experimental group, thereby negating their status as controls. In an industrial setting, for example, if members of the experimental group are provided with a powerful new tool, members of the control group may treat this as a challenge and, using the old tool, may try to beat the experimental group members in productivity. [Named after John Henry, an enormously strong and hard-working African-American railroad worker and folk tale hero of the late 19th century, possibly based on a real person]” "John Henry effect."
