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.
"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.

3/ Last month, Dr. @wendyruns & @resilnation premiered their first documentary, "Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation: Cincinnati" to unpack the history of #structuralracism in Black communities and share the narrative on #HowWeHeal:
In 1874, J.L. Chow opened Chow Chow Laundry at 904 Elm Street. He was the first person of Asian descent to be listed in the city directories. By 1891, 41/49 laundries in Dallas were Chinese-owned.
Fueled by decades of bigotry, a propaganda campaign was initiated against Chinese laundries by White competitors.
The Dallas Daily Times Herald ran an editorial in 1894: Danger in Inferior Laundries: Dallas Customers Cannot Be Too Careful Where They Send Their Soiled Clothing.

"… the employees of the inferior laundries referred to, run the risk of contracting some vile disease… The people should give white laundries a chance" texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/met…
