I should write a book about them. Better yet, I should sue them. I would focus on those in Wheaton, in Milton Township, and in DuPage County who have had little or no interaction with Blacks. While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, many of my coworkers and subordinates were Black. I worked in Chicago Heights 1964-1966 and 1970-1972, in Park Forest 1966-1969, in Harvey 1972-1973, at 63rd and Halsted in Chicago in 1973, and in Joliet 1973-1974. I bought a new town home in University Park in 1972, lived in it full-time 1972-1974, lived in it part-time 1974-1976 and rented it out 1976-1984.)
