Oldest and largest Hispanic-led street gang in Chicago?

• A. Gangster Disciples
• B. People Nation
• C. Latin Kings
• D. Vice Lords

Answer: (C)

The Latin Kings are the oldest and largest Hispanic-led street gang in Chicago. They formed in the Humboldt Park area around the 1940s and grew into a widespread organization, developing a structured leadership and a strong, recognizable identity (often associated with the five-point crown and gold colors). They became the most influential Hispanic gang in Chicago and expanded to many other cities, maintaining a large membership over the years. In contrast, the other groups listed are not Hispanic-led: the Gangster Disciples and Vice Lords are primarily Black-led gangs, and People Nation is an alliance of multiple gangs rather than a single Hispanic gang. So the Latin Kings best fit the description.
