History
In 1960 two Latin American immigrants, "Pops" and "Cha-cha Jimenez" started a community organization in Chicago's north-west side for Hispanics who wanted to fight against "a corrupt system, racism, and segregation". This eventually became the Latin Eagles.
A war involving the Latin Eagles and the Gangster Disciples started in the summer of 1995.[1]
