Before social mediaโฆ before hip-hop went globalโฆ NYC street organizations shaped entire neighborhoods.
This rare photo collage features members of The Bachelors, a legendary Bronx-founded street organization started in the 1960s that expanded across The Bronx & Brooklyn, NYC during the 1970s.
Pictured in the lower-right image is Supreme President โBlack Tonyโ Oquendo (RIP), sitting on the rightโone of the most respected figures in Bachelors history.
The Bachelors had many divisions, including:
Supreme, Imperial, Soul, Cypress, Midnight, Young, Deadly, Royal, Brooklyn, JR Imperial, and moreโsome officially documented in the rare 1979 NYPD book โStreet Gang Profiles for Police.โ
Salute to all remaining Bachelors, including Rollie, President of the 26th Division โ Imperial Bachelors (Edenwald, Bronx).
This is Puerto Rican & Black unity, NYC youth history, and a chapter that deserves preservation.

๐ฅBefore the internet rewrote NYC history, The Bachelors were already legendary.๐ฅ
This video takes you back to the 1970s Bronx, New York, uncovering the forgotten legacy of one of NYCโs biggest and most influential street gangs โ The Bachelors. Through rare photographs and historical receipts, we explore their rise from the Bronx in the 1960s, their expansion across NYC, and their many divisions including the Supreme, Imperial, Deadly, Royal, Midnight, Soul, Cypress, Young, and JR Imperial Bachelors.
Led by their Supreme President Black Tony Oquendo (RIP)๐ฏ๏ธ, The Bachelors were a multi-racial street organization united by Puerto Rican & Black solidarity. Their now-destroyed mural on 152nd Street in the Bronx, featuring Puerto Rican and Pan-African flags, stands as proof against false narratives pushed by outsiders and sellouts.
If youโre talking about the biggest NYC street gangs of the 1970s, The Bachelors MUST be part of that conversation.

This rare image represents the Astoria, Queens, N.Y. division of the legendary Seven Immortals โ a crew led by Italian American O.G. โCisco.โ
After breaking away from the Bronx due to internal issues, this Astoria division dropped the โSevenโ letters and fist from their colors and carved out their own identity. Their impact was so real they even made NYC newspapers in the 1970โs, famously photographed at Long Island City High School alongside Black Cobras members โ proving unity was deeper than stereotypes.
Fast forward to 2026 โ Cisco is STILL leading the way.
Yesโฆ Italians ๐ฎ๐น were down by law too.

Rare and never-forgotten NYC history.
This photo captures members of the Assassinators, founded in 1976 in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, photographed at the PS 1 handball courts during the late 1970โs. Peep the raw Sunset Park graffiti in the backgroundโreal era, real streets.
The Assassinators are still active in 2026, with their latest division established internationally in Chinaโa legacy that crossed oceans and generations.
A.4.L. to all Assassinatorsโactive, retired, and lost.
Salute to Demon, Black Ron, T. Outlaw, Chaparro, and all the brothers & sisters.
๐ฏ๏ธRIP Angel La Puta, JR, Pito, & ex-member Palo Viejo.

This rare 1970โs El Barrio, Manhattan NYC photo features members of the legendary Sacred Lords street gang posing with a captured Devils Disciples 1st Division jacketโa major trophy in NYC street gang culture.
On the right is โBulletโ, Supreme President of the Sacred Lords (RIP ๐๐ป๐ฏ๏ธ๐๐ป). In the 1970s, captured jackets and vests symbolized dominance. Many gangs hid their names by flipping jackets inside-out to avoid rivals or police.
What many donโt know: the Sacred Lords were changing their ways, later taking part in the Historic Harlem Street Gangs Peace Meeting of 1972โa moment almost erased from history.
This is real El Barrio history.

This rare 1973 photo captures a member of the Supreme Bachelors of the Bronx, NYC, posing in front of their hand-painted Bachelors wall, proudly displaying the Puerto Rican flag and the Pan-African flag in solidarity.
When out-of-town banjo mixtape listeners try to rewrite NYC history and claim there was no unity between Puerto Ricans and Blacks in the 1970s, photos like this shut that narrative down fast.
The Supreme Bachelors were a powerful Bronx division of the all-city Bachelors street gang, active since the 1960s, with many divisions across NYC including the Deadly Bachelors, Royal Bachelors, TNT Bachelors, and more.
๐ฏ๏ธ Salute & RIP to Supreme President Black Tony Oquendo.

This more recent photo shows a member still representing the legendary La Familia of Sunset Park, Brooklyn, NYC โ a street gang formed in 1981 after the tragic killing of local resident โChinoโ Mendez by an off-duty NYPD officer.
La Familiaโs roots trace back to the mid-1970s โHomicidesโ Sunset Park division (same white-on-red rockers), with members like โCrazy Kidโ later becoming La Familia. Led by Miguel, the organization grew beyond Brooklyn, spreading as far as Springfield, Massachusetts during the 1980s.
Known rivals of the Assassinators (the classic Red vs Blue era), these crews were part of real street history โ rumbles I personally witnessed as a kid. Over time, La Familia evolved into a nation, later identified with red, white, and blue beads.
From Sunset Park to Springfield, this is Classic New York Street Gang history โ preserved by King Klast Archives.

Most people donโt know this part of NYC historyโฆ
This photo shows the colors of the 1970โs Queens, N.Y. division of the Bronx-born street gang the Black Spades. Yes โ the Black Spades were active in Queens too, along with other Bronx street gangs like the Savage Skulls, Savage Nomads, Seven Immortals, Ghetto Brothers, and Seven Crowns.
The Black Spades were one of the LARGEST street gangs in New York City history, with over 40 documented divisions across NYC, according to the NYPDโs rare 1979 book โStreet Gang Profiles For Police.โ
Queens has had gangs since the 1950โs and probably earlier โ this is official NYC street history.
