The Black Disciples (BDs) are the Chicago folks gang that gained international notoriety in 1994 by executing its eleven-year-old member Yummy. It is also unique in its comparison with another African-American gang, the Gangster Disciples (GDs). While the GDs are structured like a corporate enterprise, the BDs are structured more like a religion where gang leaders are called ministers. The BDs trace their historical roots directly to King David Barksdale. In other respects, the BDs are like many other American gangs in that this type of gang is able to exist over time only by the criminal exploitation of children.
