Biography[]
The Gangster Disciples are a predominantly African-American street and prison gang founded in Chicago, Illinois in 1969 by Larry Hoover and David Barksdale. The two rival gangsters united to form the Black Gangster Disciple Nation. In 1989 a decline in leadership caused friction between Larry Hoover and David Barksdale, and the Black Gangster Disciple Nation divided into two gangs, being the Gangster Disciples (ran by Larry Hoover) and the Black Disciples (ran by David Barksdale). As of 2023 the Gangster Disciples have no leadership due to the fact that Larry Hoover is currently incarcerated in ADX Florence prison. Since the Gangster Disciples and Black Disciples departed, there are six subgroups of the Gangster Disciples, which split into more local subgroups or "sets".
