Resort City of Palm Springs Burned Out Community Reunites After 60 Years
“Reclaiming our future by restoring our past” – Pearl Taylor Devers
PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, USA, September 16, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Chairperson for the Section 14 Survivors Group, who is also an award- winning film producer, Pearl Taylor Devers, heads a healing rally for a community burned out and destroyed in the 1960s by the city's own fire department, without any or sufficient notice. The event was described in the state of California's 1968 Attorney General's report as a "City Engineered Holocaust".
” The group, currently over 400 members, has hired a legal team and filed a case against the city of Palm Springs in 2021. The city council issued a formal apology and indicated a desire to work with the group to consider restorative justice. The victims of the community consisted of largely African and Mexican Americans. Devers called for a rally for the group to have an opportunity to finally come together tell their stories and impact of this atrocity and to pray for healing.
Guest speakers consist of Patricia Bruce of Bruce's Beach, famed CNN legal analyst and civil rights attorney, Areva Martin, along with Kavon Ward from "Where Is My Land."
Save The Date: First Rally will be September 17, 2022
