African American Organized Crime

Ellsworth "Bumpy" Johnson controlled African American Organized Crime in Harlem, New York until his death in 1968.  The first organized gang was a combination of two smaller gangs:
  • The Supreme Gang lead by Larry Hoover
  • The Disciples lead by "King" David Barksdale
Together, they were called The Gangster Disciples.  Another important figure is Jeff Fort, who started the Black P. Stone Nation and The El Rukns gangs.  Today, African American crime is more about street gangs.
