Richard C. Lindberg reveals how Chicago politicians created and ran segregated vice districts, or levees, during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, arguing that the levees' existence presaged the modern plague of global human trafficking.

Lindberg is an award-winning author, journalist, and lecturer who has published twenty-one books related to Chicago history, politics, true crime, criminal justice, sports, and ethnicity, including Tales of Forgotten Chicago. He is a past president of the Society of Midland Authors and the Illinois Academy of Criminology, a past member of the Chicago Crime Commission, and a current board member of the Illinois State Historical Society.
