Last month, Writing Boots readers benefitted from my eclectic scholarship when you learned about the white Chicago gang from the 1970s, the Thorndale Jagoffs. (Who I’ve since learned from a guy who grew up at that time in their neighborhood, were such vicious bastards that their name was a euphemism.)
Well, our mutual exploration of defunct Chicago street gangs continues this week, with this 1974 photograph of a member of the Latino Jivers, clearly in a rebellious frame of mind (not to mention a fabulous pair of shoes), at a high school very near where I now live.
