I'm looking for the right words for @dallasfreepress' presentation this Wednesday to the @DallasTRHT #RENOW2023 cohort, and coincidentally, "desegregation" is the @Dictionarycom #wordoftheday.

Another thing: "desegregation" ≠ "integration"
"Desegregation, 'the elimination of laws under which people are separated'...comes from Latin sēgregāre, 'to part from the flock.' Though segregation is often contrasted with its rhyming opposite integration, the two are unrelated.

"Instead, integration ultimately comes from Latin integer, 'untouched, undivided, whole.' Desegregation was first recorded in English in the early 1950s."
This took me back to a piece I published for the 40th anniversary of @dallasschools' desegregation in 2011.
