The name Adams Morgan is from the names of two formerly segregated area elementary schools—the older, all-black Thomas P. Morgan Elementary School and the all-white John Quincy Adams Elementary School, which merged in 1955 following desegregation. ghostsofdc.org/2022/03/1

You're not the only one "stymied by career officials" @StateDept - @AmandaMilius. Maybe don't refer to them as "nobodies" and focus on building relationships to try and affect long-term positive change.
