[edit] History
The "People" were formed much in the same way as the Folks. To combat the recent alignment in the year of 78, the El Rukns (now Black P. Stones), Vice Lords, and Latin Kings formed an alliance of their own, and titled it the "People". The similarity in meaning between the terms "People" and "Folks" is not coincidental. Jeff Fort of the Rukns, Bobby Gore of the Vice Lords, and Gustavo Colon of the Kings were very instrumental in the forming on this alliance. Among initial members to the People were the Mickey Cobras (then Cobra Stones), Latin Counts, Norteños, Bishops, Insane Unknowns, and Spanish Lords. Many of the African American People gangs adopted an Islamic religious doctrine, while many Latin gangs in the People alliance adopted a Christian one. The People gangs also adopted the 5 point Star, which is a symbol of Islam (along with the crescent moon) They identify to the left , hats tilted or "broke" to the left, left pants leg up, earring in left ear, etc.

[edit] Symbols used by The People Nation
Symbols used by the People Nation include a five pointed star and the devil pitch fork pointed downwards. It is also common for members of People Nation gang members to wear caps tilted to the left, or earrings in the left ear. This is in contrast to Folk Nation gangs which use the six pointed star and the devil fork pitch pointed upwards and wear similar clothing on the right side of their body.
