The City Council is expected to vote on the settlement for residents of a neighborhood that burned more than 50 years ago. It could also consider another $21 million for community programs.

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.
