The Young Lords were first a Puerto Rican turf gang in the 1960s in the Chicago neighborhood of Lincoln Park. When they realized that urban renewal was evicting their families and saw police abuses, some like other Puerto Ricans became involved in the June 1966 Division Street Riots in Wicker Park and Humboldt Park. A couple of years later they were reorganized into a human rights movement officially, on September 23, 1968 by Jose Cha Cha Jimenez and spread to other cities nation-wide.
