Who is Larry Hoover?

Answer 1

Larry Hoover (born November 30, 1950) is the co-founder (with David Barksdale) of the "Black Gangster Disciple Nation", later known as the "Gangster Disciple Nation". The group was formed from rival Chicago gangs in the late 1960's. While proclaiming its opposition to gang violence, the group was charged by federal authorities with engaging in criminal activities including drug distribution. Hoover, who is serving a life sentence for a 1973 murder conviction, is still reputed to control the organization.
