Black Gangster Disciple
In the 1960's another group was being formed to rival the Black P-Stone Nation. The Black Gangster Disciple Nation was started by a man named David Barksdale. The Black Gangster Disciple Nation {BGDN} fought bloody wars ont he Chicago south side over turf and drug sales. King David Barksdale was assassinated in 1974. As a symbol of honor and remembrance the six-pointed Jewish star {Star of David} was adopted by the BGDN as well as crossed pitchforks pointing up. Following Barksdale's death, the leadership of the Black Gangster Disciple Nation was taken over by two men; King Larry Hoover and King Jerome 'Shorty' Freeman. They divided the Gangster Nation into the Black Gangster Disciples, led by King Larry Hoover, and the Black Gangsters, led by 'Shorty' Freeman. Both of these men were soon incarcerated but continued to run their groups from inside the penal system.

    Cj130: A List Of Gangs In Prison

    They were founded in 1966 by a former Black Panther member, George Jackson. This gang came to be made initially of members from other gangs that included the Black Liberation Army, Symbionese Liberation Army, and Weatherman Underground organization. They are by leaps and bounds the most “politically” oriented gang of the most populated gangs. Their original purpose was to fight racism and overthrow the U.S. Government. Something that is unique to this gang unlike the others listed above is that they have a strict death oath. They are smaller in member numbers; however a member is a loyal member to the gang for life without exception. This gang is highly organized and runs under military like rankings. While smaller in number, they are growing as they have gained new alignments. Those alignments are with the 415’s, 415 KUMI, Crips, Bloods, and Black Gangster…

    4 Corner Hustlers

    History: The Four Corner Hustlers originated on Chicago's Westside in the early 1970's. The organization was founded by King Walter Wheat and Freddy "Malik" Gauge. Shortly after the Four Corner Hustlers emerged, they became allied with the Vice Lords street gang, becoming a faction and adopting Vice Lord symbols and colors. The gang operated as a small group in the Austin neighborhood throughout the mid-to-late 1970's, often fighting area clubs and engaging in petty theft and vandalism. However, a group of Four Corner Hustlers began to operate in the Garfield Park and Austin neighborhoods. Lead by Monroe "Money" Banks, this group adopted the Black Diamond as a symbolic reference to their gang. In the late 1980's, Freddy Gauge died while incarcerated. Walter Wheat then took over the organizations operations solely. In the early 1990's, Monroe Banks proclaimed leadership over the entire organization but this was disputed by older high-ranking members of the gang. The tension and disagreements within the gang lead Walter Wheat to retire from the organizations leadership. Monroe Banks was later killed in a drug related murder in 1992. The 4CH's began to expand their bases of operation throughout the 1990's, growing substantially in number. A group of younger Four Corner Hustlers began to distance themselves from the Vice Lords and even rest away some of their territory, often times "flipping" Vice Lord members with the lure of drug spots. These Four Corner Hustlers…

    Boyz N The Hood And Black Freedom Fight

    Boyz N the Hood and Black Freedom Fighters in Steel have many common themes between them. At first they don’t seem to have anything in common, but as you look at the two they relate very much and in many ways. In both the movie and the book black Americans came together to fight a common struggle and lived in area filled with poverty, racial comments, and stereo typing along with hate, violence and racism. They both have characters that have dreams and hopes of a brighter future and accomplishing goals that seem unreasonable. Though both stories take place during different eras they both have commonalities. They both tell the story of struggle of black people trying to survive in a world filled with hate and displacement. The two main themes I believe that the movie and book both have is the theme of hope and hopelessness. In this paper I will address these two common themes and how they play their role in each the book and the movie. In the movie hope and hopelessness is symbolized in many ways as to the affect of growing up black in an urban city during a violent time. In the book hope and hopelessness is shown through the coming together of black people to strive for a better future not just for themselves but for future generations, even though there are many obstacles and hurdles that are trying to hold them back from accomplishing their dreams and goals.…

    Another quote that I found interesting is, "Screw the clubs!" Tigo said. "Can't we pick our own ..." The word was hard coming. When it came, his eyes did not leave Danny's face. "... friends?" "Sure we can," Danny said vehemently. "Sure, we can! Why not?" Tigo grew from wanting gang acceptance to hankering for a true friendship, that he found in Tigo. Because they had similar interests; they both liked guns, wanted to join the army and neither particularly liked the other boys in their gang. Tigo reslised that Danny and himself . I was pleased that they knew they didn’t have to stay a gang member their whole lives and that they knew they had a option to leave and make their own friends and not fell pressured to die for their…

    Larry Hoover & the Gangster Disciples

    The night I was born Folks was the night I died. As my brethren cast my body into the lake of Fire and Knowledge I was baptized. One with my nation by my Kings blessed. With a Pitchfork in my hand and a Six on my chest. Others will speak my name and know the name of Death. I live by the Nations laws, die by the Disciples Creed. Loyal to my Nation, loyal to my breed. The day my Flag falls then so does my body fall. But my Nation will always stand in the shine of the Six. All is One, One is All! Spread your wings and raise them high, G's and D's shall never die. Hold your Six above your head. Raise King David from the dead. The Chairman Hoover a King like him. About that struggle limb to limb. Hold a firm grip to your Sword. Raise your Pitchforks we are at war. Death before dishounor, Folks alive! About that Six, no love for five. Brothers of the Struggle we have won. All ain't well but All is One! As I pray to God and all the best, when I am dead and gone tell my Folks to put me to rest. I will leave this earth so let things be well, I am a loyal Folk in heaven or hell. Life on this earth was evil to me, so when I lay down just put me to rest with a Six Point Star and two shotguns laid upon my chest.…

Most Folks gangs represent using the six point star, pitchforks, and identify to the right side (e.g., they wear hats or bandannas turned to the right).[2][3] Folks Nation gangs use the term "All Is One" to greet each other.
