Latin Kings

Summary:
The Almighty Latin King Nation first emerged in Chicago during the 1940s when several young Puerto Rican males organized into a club. Their goal was to help each other overcome the problems of racism and prejudice that newly arriving Puerto Rican immigrants were experiencing. celebrate January 6th as "King's Holy Day" and the first week in March as "King's Week." The Latin Kings are Chicago's largest gang and have been involved in numerous violent acts. Although the original members were of Puerto Rican decent, most members are now Mexican-America. They now allow members of all races to join. The Latin Kings have over 25,000 Latin King members residing within their city alone.
