Felix Murry then came to help Ronald and as the two men took off, King and Smith kept shooting at them and grazed Murry. 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. This new coalition would become known as the “Black Disciple nation.”  The coalition expanded Disciple boundaries beyond the Englewood, Hyde Park and Kenwood area and put them in further south side neighborhoods like Greater Grand Crossing, Woodlawn, Washington Park as they absorbed up several small black gangs in all these communities causing Disciple numbers to grow into the thousands. Wells and Madden Park projects area.  The death of Chuck could have brought more war in these section and at the “Low End” located at 46th and Evans (5th Ward) in Grand Boulevard.  At the meeting Rimrod threw down the pitchfork to disrespect GDs but there was no violence.  Instead of violence many GDs flipped to BDs at the Low End and in the projects making BD numbers stronger.  Rimrod was killed shortly after the meeting along with other high ranking BDs but the BDs had grown stronger at these locations. By the year 1976, Larry Hoover wanted to reach a resolution to absolve this two-year disorganization between Disciples and Gangsters. Similarly, 4 August 68 charged with resisting arrest and disorderly, again dismissed (Judge, * Arrested 7 Mar 69 for a battery warrant, dismissed (Judge, ). By the later 50s blacks were moving into this area and southern Kenwood at a higher rate as this area became more affordable. In 1966, the Black Disciple nation became heavily active in the community opening fund raisers, legitimate businesses, enforcing school policies to keep kids in school.  There are many sources on the internet that can go into great detail about all the legit things the Black Disciple Nation and the Black Gangster Disciple nation did back in the 1960s that is very easy to find; therefore, I do not need to go into extended details about it but there was some positivity that came out of all of this.  Maybe some of that money went to illegal activities but a great deal of it went into helping the community.  David Barksdale used his power for some good as can be seen.  The Disciples were also tied to civil rights groups and fought against civil rights injustices.  In that summer of 1966 Disciples even tried a peace treaty with the Rangers, this didn’t last but at least there was a large attempt. Harris dropped to, ground to crawl away but then a sixth shooter appeared with a 12 gauge and shot Harris yet again. Black Disciple gang member George Baily resided in this unit along with members of the Black Gangster Disciples. split away entirely and brought back the name “Black Disciples,” this time it meant one organization and not an alliance. The Black Disciples (BDs) are the Chicago "folks" gang that gained international notoriety in 1994 by executing its eleven-year-old member "Yummy". Larry Hoover became the target for assassination attempts. * The next alias (Davis Jones) comes on 31 Dec 66 for Strong Arm robbery. In the year 1982, Mickey bull and the BDs took over the long standing Mickey Cobra buildings near 45th and State.  This was the 4555 and 4525 buildings which the Cobras held since 1962.  This left the Mickey Cobras with only “The Hole” which was three buildings from 53rd and State down the 54th and State.  Mickey Bull had successfully pushed the MCs south of 53rd Street. 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.  These boys were only 11-13 years old in age and they all sat down to figure out the name of this new organization.  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.  The boys then added on the prefix “Devil’s” to give the name an intimidating edge to it.  After that was decided the Disciples were simultaneously at 49th and Dorchester in Kenwood, 53rd and Kimbark in Hyde Park and scattered throughout Englewood between 56th Street down to 67th Street. Fr. The GDs took advantage of the City and CHAs lack of interest in the public housing high rises. 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. on the west side of the city they extended themselves further south outside of Englewood. The Hyde Park/Kenwood chapter was at its peak around when Barksdale took over as they had members from 43rd down to 53rd between the two neighborhoods but starting in 1960 the University of Chicago backed a program to renovate southern Kenwood and northern Hyde Park by clearing out slum buildings and renovating some the older and salvageable homes. In later years Ike Taylor would become a positive leader and positive advocate for the Growth and Development concepts of the Gangster Disciples. Eventually the B.L.A.C.K.S and the Deuces would merge together then eventually merge into the Black Disciples. At Parker High School members of the Supreme Gangsters and Disciples were especially ready to get into drama against each other. Smoke then got in contact with Little John who was on the streets of Cabrini and now got word that Cabrini Green Disciples would become BGD. On March 16 both men were arrested and charged with the murder. During this same year of 1968, Jeff Fort and the Black P Stones were raking in thousands of dollars in government grant money after projecting the public appearance as a community youth group in need of funding to help poverty.  The money went to a lot of good and actually helped open legitimate businesses that helped young blacks but on the other side of it some of the money was used for illegal activities and this caught the attention of the F.B.I that began investigations.  The same groups that granted money to the Stones also gave money to the Disciples as well.  The Disciples did not stick their necks out as much for the money and more or less received the money as a default because the gang apologists and liberal groups wanted to give money to the rivals of the Stones too.  When Stones were questioned about who their worst rival is, they pointed to the Disciples and that prompted these groups to line the pockets of the Black Disciples as well, many of times without Disciples even asking for the money.  Disciples used a lot of this money for good just like the Stones as they opened legit businesses and created programs to help black youths on the south side just like how the Vice Lords and Stones were doing; just like Vice Lords and Stones, the Disciples fell under F.B.I investigation for mismanaging those funds for illegal activities such as buying drugs and guns.  The Disciples’ involvement with mismanaging these funds was not much in the newspaper because of their lower profile activities and the Disciples didn’t trust white people and the social case workers, they practically had no choice by 1968 to deal with them after the money was practically forced on them. Larry Hoover was there with Barksdale when the shooting started and acted quickly after Barksdale was shot by swiftly getting Barksdale into his car. The GDs ran the majority of the buildings within these public housing complexes and began a $100,000,000 a year crack cocaine operation just in Cabrini Green alone. The peace between them lasted close to a half year but ended up going sour as Larry was seeing more and more how Jeff would not let him rule alongside him as an equal. The two were then taken to the hospital and were treated for their wounds. The Hyde Park/Kenwood chapter was at its peak around when Barksdale took over as they had members from 43rd down to 53rd between the two neighborhoods but starting in 1960 the University of Chicago backed a program to renovate southern Kenwood and northern Hyde Park by clearing out slum buildings and renovating some the older and salvageable homes.  This action would increase the value of these neighborhoods and push impoverished black families out causing most of these families to move to Englewood.  As the families began moving in the early 60s the Disciples grew stronger in Englewood and gradually a new headquarters was set up at 63rd and Normal in the year 1963 because many homes were razed at 53rd and Kimbark in Hyde Park and the Kimbark Shopping Plaza was built over half of Disciple headquarters. Â. This gave the Gangsters a major momentum boost and they soon colonized the Henry Horner projects located in the Near West Side neighborhood putting the Gangsters on the map in two west side neighborhoods. Vandergrift made a deal with CPD and decided to testify all about the shooting and now press charges in exchange for leniency for his crimes.
