Black Guerrilla Family Gang

Black Guerrilla Family

The Black Guerrilla Family (BGF) is a black prison gang founded in 1966 by George Jackson (a high-ranking member of the Black Panther Party) while he was in the San Quentin State Prison.

BGF was associated with a number of anti-establishment groups, including the Black Liberation Army, Symbionese Liberation Army, and Weather Underground. The group is strongly organized on both the East and West coasts, and cooperates with the Nuestra Familia, the Bloods, and the Crips.

Members of 415 Kumi and BGF have been found with documentation suggesting membership in a group called the "Firm." The Firm is believed to be a working alliance between the 415 and BGF gangs.

The BGF has also created what appears to be a political and paramilitary sub-group known as the "New Afrikan Revolutionary Nation" .

Symbols of the gang can be found in the members' tattoos. Crossed sabers, machetes, rifles and shotguns are common tattoos. Also the depiction of a black dragon overtaking a prison, a prison tower or prison guard.

The BGF has a longstanding rivalry with the Aryan Brotherhood and Mexican Mafia.
