History
The "People" were formed much in the same way as the Folks. To combat the recent alignment in the year of 78, the El Rukns (now Black P. Stones), Vice Lords, and Latin Kings formed an alliance of their own, and titled it the "People". The similarity in meaning between the terms "People" and "Folks" is not coincidental. Jeff Fort of the Rukns, Bobby Gore of the Vice Lords, and Gustavo Colon of the Kings were very instrumental in the forming on this alliance. Among initial members to the People were the Mickey Cobras (then Cobra Stones), Latin Counts, Bishops, Insane Unknowns, Spanish Lords.Many of the African American People gangs adopted an Islamic religious doctrine, while many Latin gangs in the People alliance adopted a Christian one. The People gangs also adopted the 5 point Star, which is a symbol of Islam (along with the crescent moon). As the same with many of the gangs of the Folks Nation there is inter-alliance wars and many renegade factions have formed within the People gangs. It is widely believed that the United Blood Nation from New York is a emualtion of the the Vice Lords and Black P. Stones and the original Blood gangs from california. They claim to have signed a charter to join the People alliance but this unlikely because of the lack of gangs outside of chicago being a part of this alliance. People gangs identify to the Left, hats tilted or "broke" to the left, left pants leg up, earring in left ear, etc.
Symbolism
Symbols used by the People Nation include a five pointed star. It is also common for members of People Nation gang members to wear clothing tilted to the left. This is in contrast to Folks Nation gangs which use the six pointed star and wear similar clothing on the Right side of their body. People Nation Gangs use the term "All Is Well" while Folks gangs say "All As One". All gangs of the alliance have their own seperate symbols, colors, and handsigns.
