BLACK GUERRILLA FAMILY

'The Black Guerrilla Family' (also known as the 'Black Family' or the 'Black Vanguard') was founded in 1966 by George Jackson while he was in the San Quentin State Prison in Marin County, California, north of San Francisco. The gang is mostly a politically-oriented gang, established as an African-American Marxist revolutionary organization. It was founded with the stated goals of eradicating racism, maintaining dignity in prison and overthrowing the United States government. Law enforcements believe that the Black Guerrilla Family is responsible for selling narcotics throughout the Western United States and is less a legitimate political organization than a organized crime organization. Black Guerrilla Family is strongly organized on both the East and West coasts, and has a very active working relationship with the Nuestra Familia. Legendary hip hop MC Kool G Rap is noted for being a Black Guerrilla Family member.
