After that was decided the Disciples were simultaneously at 43rd Street in Kenwood and scattered throughout Englewood between 56th Street down to 67th Street. The boys then added on the prefix “Devil’s” to give the name an intimidating edge to it. They decided to flip through the holy bible to get ideas and that’s when it dawned on them to use the name “Disciple” in their title. These boys were only 11-13 years old in age and they all sat down to figure out the name of this new organization. Some of the bullied youths from Kenwood, Hyde Park and Englewood got together as friends and decided to create a club that would fight against all these enemies they had. Englewood was an affordable option for lower income black families making this an ideal neighborhood for settlement. The creation of the Dan Ryan Expressway system that year was a contributing factor is forcing many black families out of their communities and into white neighborhoods like Englewood. There were also white and black gangs from outside of Englewood, Hyde Park and Kenwood that invaded and bullied these youths. In Englewood, black families began moving in at a very high rate in this neighborhood causing many Italian families and Italian greasers’ resentment and soon bullying ensued. By the later 50s blacks were moving into this area and southern Kenwood at a higher rate as this area became more affordable for lower income families. Hyde Park had always enforced restrictive racial covenants in the earlier times but in the late 40s it was deemed unconstitutional therefore, black families began to move into the older northern section of the Hyde Park neighborhood. In Hyde Park and Kenwood wealthier white greaser youths were bullying several black youths. We will start the story back in the year 1958 to the impoverished northern half of the Hyde Park neighborhood, the impoverished southern Kenwood area and in the Englewood neighborhood. The Black Disciple history is indeed a fascinating history and a great story of how young pre-teen boys got together and formed an organization that would help fight against the civil rights injustices and wild gangs around them. From the rough parts of Hyde Park to the impoverished and blighted community of Englewood Gangsters and Disciples were born and would evolve to show the world true power in numbers and organization.

The history of the Gangster Disciple nation has roots that come from civil rights issues and dealing with problems that plagued their communities.

Not all Gangster Disciples get involved in criminal activity and many retire and leave the criminal life and become productive members of Growth and Development. Growth and Development is something positive that turns Gangster Disciple members into productive members of society and helps men of all ages better themselves and become successful. The Gangster Disciples have grown beyond just being a gang and are about Growth and Development. The Gangster Disciple nation has a hell of a legacy of expansion, power and dominance. The Gangster Disciples are said to be at least 40,000 strong in numbers and continue to grow with members as young as pre-teen and members as old as in their 70s. In order to tell the story of the largest mob in Chicago’s history I must intertwine both the history of the Gangsters and the history of the Disciples to bring about the correct understand.
