Beginning around the 1940s, a neighborhood near downtown Palm Springs became home to mostly Black and Latino residents.
The one-square-mile tract was on the land of the Cahuilla Indians and offered one of the few places minorities could live because of racial housing discrimination.
After a federal law change in 1959, these residents were evicted and their homes destroyed to make way for economic development.
For years, former residents said they were evicted with little or no notice.
