Summary "Chicago's Black Traffic in White Girls" by Jean Turner-Zimmermann is an article addressing the pervasive issue of organized prostitution and the white slave trade in early 20th century America. Written in the context of social reform movements of the late 19th to early 20th century, the text sheds light on the horrific conditions faced by women forced into prostitution, particularly in urban areas like Chicago. The author discusses the exploitation and suffering of countless vulnerable girls lured into a life of vice under the guise of opportunities for employment. In this compelling and vehement account, Turner-Zimmermann not only shares harrowing statistics and narratives about the lives of these women but also critiques the societal systems that allow such exploitation to flourish. She offers numerous real-life stories highlighting the recruitment methods used by traffickers and the collusion of various societal actors—from politicians to law enforcement—that enables this grim industry. The text serves as both a plea for awareness and a call to action, urging individuals and communities to work towards eradicating the organized vice that ravages the lives of young women, positioning this struggle as a necessary moral imperative.
