A black four-door Jeep Wrangler parked in front of the "Palm Springs" sign flanked by palm trees, with a backdrop of mountainous terrain under an overcast sky. Passengers sitting in a well-lit shuttle bus with rows of black seats, some looking at the camera, others looking away or at their phones, during daylight with a view of parked cars and trees outside the windows. A mural painted on an outdoor wall featuring a series of portraits of individuals from different age groups, with vibrant colors and expressive faces, set against a backdrop of blue skies and clouds. The mural is adjacent to a basketball court, with palm trees and a building visible in the background.

About

The Palm Springs Black History Tour highlights the remarkable contributions of Black pioneers who shaped the city despite the challenges of earlier times.

The journey begins on the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation at Section 14, where African-Americans started to settle in the 1940s.

Explore the works of renowned architect Paul Williams and learn about land developer and city planner Lawrence Crossley, who arrived in the 1920s and transformed the city’s landscape when African-Americans were barred from owning property. Visit landmarks like Crossley Corners and the neighborhood that now bears his name.

The tour concludes at Desert Highland Gateway Estates, the most significant predominantly Black neighborhood, which has been home to community activists and internationally recognized athletes. You’ll also see several faith-based institutions and end at the James O. Jessie Unity Center, a vibrant cultural and recreational hub within the Desert Highland Gateway Community.
