The Folks Nation is an alliance of Street Gang s based out of the Chicago area which has since branched throughout the United States . They are theoretically rivals to the People Nation . Within the Folks Nation alliance there are many gangs which all have their own unique colors, handsigns, and organization. Many of these gangs have signed a charter to join the Folks alliance. It was formed on November 11, 1978 in the Illinois Department of Corrections. Soon afterwards the People Nation was formed to counter the Folks alliance. Larry Hoover the chairman of the GDN created the idea for the alliance and persuaded many leaders of large Black, White, and Latino gangs from Chicago to join. After having a prosperous beginning in the late '70s and throughout the '80s, the alliance started to break apart in the early '90s due to wars over money and drugs between fellow Folks gangs.
