was taken from harry smith joins us from los angeles with more. a lot of folks are sayin this is quite the precedent that has been set there >> isn't that the truth? i want to take you back to the early 1900s. an african-american couple comes to los angeles, goes t manhattan beach, buys a piece of ocean front property for $1,200. starts a successful business and black americans in los angeles only to have that property ripped out of their hands. >> the allure of the sandy beaches in southern california is undeniable. perhapsly so for african-americans living in the very segregated los angeles of the 1920s. >> where are we now? >> right now, we're in the lifeguards station which is on top of the property that my family used to own >> this is it right here >> here was lodging, a cafe and a dance hall, a black paradise developed by anthony bruce's great-great grandparents, willa

i'm morgan, and there's more to me than hiv. more love, more adventure, more community. but with my hiv treatment, there's not more medicines in my pill. i talked to my doctor and switched to fewer medicines with dovato. dovato is for some adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment or replacing their current hiv-1 regimen. with just 2 medicines in 1 pill, dovato is as effective as a 3-drug regimen... to help you reach and stay undetectable. research shows people who take hiv treatment as prescribed and get to and stay undetectable can no longer transmit hiv through sex. don't take dovato if you're allergic to its ingredients or if you take dofetilide. taking dovato with dofetilide can cause serious or life-threatening side effects. hepatitis b can become harder to treat while on dovato. don't stop dovato without talking to your doctor,

as your hepatitis b may worsen or become life-threatening. serious or life-threatening side effects can occur, including allergic reactions, lactic acid buildup, and liver problems. if you have a rash and other symptoms of an allergic reaction, stop dovato and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, or if you are, may be, or plan to be pregnant. dovato may harm your unborn baby. use effective birth control while on dovato. do not breastfeed while taking dovato. most common side effects are headache, nausea, diarrhea, trouble sleeping, tiredness, and anxiety. so much goes into who i am. hiv medicine is one part of it. ask your doctor about dovato-i did. ♪♪ special series, pink power today in honor of breast cancer awareness month. and i want to quickly shout out my late mother, patty daly crusoe who was a proud breast
