{{Multiple issues|{{Orphan|date=April 2016}}}}Clifford Griffith Roe (1875-1934) was a Chicago prosecutor known for his efforts to fight prostitution and the trafficking of women for sex work, known as white slavery in the 1910s. He authored a comprehensive illustrated book on the subject in 1911, Horrors of the White Slave Trade: The Mighty Crusade to Protect the Purity of Our Homes. [1]

Early life

Roe was born in Indiana in 1875 to George W. Roe and Marietta Drummond. Roe married Elsie Martha Hercock and had a child named Majorie H. Roe in 1912.[2]

White slave trade

In the preface of Horrors of the White Slave Trade, Roe states:

"That the truth may be known throughout the world concerning the traffic in girls and women, and that these poor fellow beings may, though the knowledge of truth, be set free from bondage is the hope of the writers of this book."[3]

Several anti-slavery techniques are described in detail in Horrors of the White Slave Trade. The book is an instruction manual on how to make effective change in the direction of justice and love of humanity, as demonstrated through the fight against white slavery toward the end of the 19th century and early 20th century.
