Describe the National level gangs
What will be an ideal response?
Until the late 1970s there were several alliances, mostly informal, and many rivalries among the gangs of Chicago. However, a turning point came when informal alliances and rivalries came together to form two major super-gangs (or "nations"), known as People and Folk. This formation began within the Illinois prison system when the mostly white Simon City Royals agreed to provide drugs to inmates who belonged to the Black Disciples in exchange for protection; this group came to be called Folks (represented in graffiti by a six-pointed star). Shortly thereafter, and in response to this alliance, the Latin Kings aligned themselves with the Vice Lords and the El Rukns and became known as the People (represented by a five-pointed star).
