The city of Palm Springs, Calif., will consider a nearly $6 million reparations settlement for former residents of a neighborhood of mostly Black and Latino families that was destroyed more than a half-century ago.

The Palm Springs, Calif., City Council is expected to vote Thursday on a reparations settlement for former residents of a mostly Black and Latino neighborhood destroyed for commercial development in the 1960s.

The Palm Springs City Council will vote tonight on the settlement offer. It comes decades after city employees and the Fire Department destroyed an estimated 197 homes on tribal land downtown.
