Hello! I'm the Professor for BLSTU 3230: Studies in Black Sexual Politics! I'm new to Wikipedia content adding - so, I'll be learning along with my students!!!!!

In a “watershed” case, United States v. Ingalls (1947), a black trafficking victim, Dora Jones in San Diego County, received remuneration for her labor by use of the 13th Amendment, which prohibited slavery and involuntary servitude, except for punishment of a crime. Prior to Ingalls, anti-trafficking laws – initially called “white slavery” – failed to account for labor rights, but instead emphasized how white women needed to be rescued from non-white male procurers in urban places. In 1908, Mrs. Mira Elizabeth Ingalls discovered that her first husband was having a sexual relationship with Dora Jones, their maid who was only 17 years-old at the time. During divorce proceedings, Ingalls told Jones that she was required to continue working for her and that if she tried to leave, she would be arrested. Ernest Tolin, the assistant attorney who prosecuted the case, quoted Mrs. Ingalls telling Jones - “You owe me your life because you have ruined mine.” Authorities claimed that Mrs. and Mr. Ingalls had not paid Jones any compensation since 1909 and that Jones’ sleeping quarters were so cold “a subsequent tenant would not keep her cat in the room.” The abuse spanned a total of 37 years and across different places including, San Diego, Boston, Washington, and Chicago. In 1946, Mrs. Helen Roberts, Mrs. Ingalls’s daughter, encouraged Jones to tell Berkeley authorities of her treatment after seeing that Jones’ was “thin, tired looking, and her ankles were badly swollen” during a visit from her mother, stepfather, and Jones. Unlike prior prosecutions of involuntary servitude, Judge Weinberger required Ingalls to pay restitution to Jones, totaling $6,000

White Slavery

Paragraph: This helps you set the style of the text. For example, a header, or plain paragraph text. You can also use it to offset block quotes.

A : Highlight your text, then click here to format it with bold, italics, etc. The "More" options allows you to underline, add code snippets, and change language keyboards.

Links: The chain button allows you to link your text. Highlight the word, and push the button. The visual editor will automatically suggest related Wikipedia articles for that word or phrase. This is a great way to connect your article to more Wikipedia content. You only have to link important words once, usually during the first time they appear. If you want to link to pages outside of Wikipedia (for an "external links" section, for example) click on the "External link" tab.

Cite: The citation tool in the visual editor helps format your citations. You can simply paste a DOI or URL, and the visual editor will try to sort out all of the fields you need. Be sure to review it, however, and apply missing fields manually (if you know them). You can also add books, journals, news, and websites manually. That opens up a quick guide for inputting your citations. Finally, you can click the "re-use" tab if you've already added a source and just want to cite it again. Insert: This tab lets you add media, images, or tables.
 * Bullets: To add bullet points or a numbered list, click here.

Ω The final tab allows you to add special characters, such as those found in non-English words, scientific notation, and a handful of language extensions.


 * The "Bold" item (B) bolds the selected text.
 * The "Italic" item (I) italicizes the selected text.
 * The "Superscript" item (xI) causes the selected text to appear smaller than surrounding text and to be slightly higher than the surrounding text.
 * The "Subscript" item (xI) causes the selected text to appear smaller than surrounding text and slightly lower than the surrounding text.
 * The "Strikethrough" item (S) adds a solid bar through the selected text.
 * The "Computer code" item (a set of curly brackets: {}) changes the font of the selected text to a monospaced font, which sets it apart from surrounding (proportionally spaced) text.
 * The "Underline" item (U) adds a solid line beneath the selected text.
 * The "Language" item (Aあ) allows you to label the language (for example, Japanese) and direction (for example, right-to-left) of the selected text.
 * The final item, "Clear styling" (  ⃠ ), removes all character formatting from the selected text, including links.
