Spaulding and Hirsch Latin Kings with Ron Gorny ca. 1972
Posted: September 23, 2010 in UncategorizedAshland and Cortez (Bucktown) Latin Kings ca. 1972
Posted: September 23, 2010 in Education, Gang Grafitti, Gang History, Gang Rationales, Gangs, Latin Kings, NeighborhoodsThe Ashland and Cortez Latin Kings were among the first gangbangers I worked with when I was at Teen Challenge back in the early 70s. It was through their President, Michael Perez that I was introduced to all the other sections of the Latin Kings. I’ve not seen any of them since 1973. I know that Lucky was killed, but do not know what happened to any of the others. If anyone know their whereabouts, please let me know. Also let me know if you can fill in any of the names and stories of other guys in the pictures whose names I’ve forgotten.
