Palm Springs Offers $4.3 Million To Section 14 Survivors

After years of conversations, the city of Palm Springs offers Section 14 survivors a total of $4.3 million in reparations.

The gesture arrives decades after many families were forcibly removed from downtown Palm Springs in the 1950s and 60s.

An action the city played a role in.

Now, city leaders say the money being offered is an attempt to acknowledge and rectify that time and help surviving families.

The offer follows a closed session Palm Springs city council meeting last Thursday, however the financial amount being offered is much smaller than what Section 14 survivors were initially requesting.
