Black Spade
The Black Spades is a mostly African-American street gang that started in the Bronx in the Bronxdale houses during the late 1960s and gained popularity in the 1970s.
By the late 1980s, the gang began to spread from the Bronx to Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island in New York City, as well as New Rochelle in the state of New York, along with other locales in Massachusetts and Connecticut. During this period Latino and white members were more common.
In 2019, the Black Spades have made a comeback, with more members joining. They are now TBS New Direction, a community service group championing anti-violence initiatives and providing food distribution for the food insecure.
