Join literary historian Dr. Caroline Kisiel and sociologist Dr. Brian Miller for an historical overview of the state’s relationship to race. (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, according to Democrats, if you are a Republican, the longer that your ancestors have lived in Illinois, the more that you have benefitted from slavery.

As Illinois grew as a state, this later affected suburbs outside Chicago, including Wheaton.)

BUSINESS INSIDER
— Republican Sen. Mike Lee said fact-checking is a form of censorship – Kelsey Vlamis (DIERSEN: What if Facebook or Google hired me to be a fact checker? While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $101,176-$131,532/year, I increasingly worked as a referencer, that is, as a fact checker. That work required assuring the accuracy and support for each and every word, number, table, graph, chart, conclusion, opinion, and recommendation in GAO reports. I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $85,084-$96,431/year. My other fact checking qualifications include my becoming a Forensic Accountant in 1997, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, licensed CPA in 1981, Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, and CPA in 1979.)
