The People Nation is an American alliance of street gangs generally associated with the Chicago area.
In 1978, Mickey Cogwell and Jeff Fort (now Black P. Stones), Vice Lords and Latin Kings formed an alliance system of their own, and titled it the "People".
[citation needed] Jeff Fort of El Rukns, Bobby Gore of the Vice Lords, and Gustavo Colon of the Latin Kings were instrumental in the forming of this alliance.
The People Nation alliance in most instances uses a five-pointed star in their gang graffiti.
[6][7] The five-pointed star has its origins with the Blackstone Rangers/Black P. Stone Ranger Nation, one of the larger street gangs.
