The word integration, as well as its meaning, is very important. To realize this one needs only to see the breadth of its use and its application to people, institutions, practices, and the natural world alike. Integration is defined as the act or instance of combining into the whole. More simply, it’s bringing things together to the benefit of them all.
Integration played a hugely important role in the building and growth of this entire nation with the bringing together of racial, religious, and ethnic groups across our organizations, schools, and places of business with the goal of the mutual benefit of all: Social harmony, broader education, and a stronger, more productive workforce to strengthen business and the greater economy.
