After 70 Years, Santa Monica Finally Compensates Black Entrepreneur’s Family for Land Taken in the 1950s

They stole his land. Now they’re paying for it. ✊🏾
Silas White’s property was taken in the 1950s to build Santa Monica’s Civic Auditorium — and the family never stopped fighting.

Decades later, the truth finally caught up.
A $350,000 settlement.
A street renamed in his honor.
And history forced to say his name.

Justice delayed… but not denied. 🖤
