The Palm Springs City Council has approved a $5.9-million settlement with Black and Latino families whose homes were torn down decades 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.

Black and Latino families who were displaced from a Southern California neighborhood in the 1960s have reached a tentative settlement agreement with the city of Palm Springs.
