★BACKGROUND★
In 1958, the Vice Lords gang was founded by several African American youths originally from the North Lawndale neighborhood of Chicago. These youths met while incarcerated in the Illinois State Training School for Boys in St. Charles (also known as the St. Charles Juvenile Correctional Facility). At the time, they were led by founding member Edward "Pepalo" Perry. The name "Vice" was chosen when a gang founder looked up the term in the dictionary and found the meaning as "having a tight hold".
As the original Vice Lords group were released from incarceration, they quickly began to recruit other youths from their neighborhood and began engaging in conflicts with other "clubs" from various Chicago neighborhoods. By 1964, they had grown significantly and law enforcement named them as a primary target for their various illegal activities. By the time some members split up to Memphis (Tennessee). The "Travelling Vice Lords" are also known for taking in their territory with violence, as they are called "Travelling" they split up in groups and recruit other African Americans in nearby areas. Some "Vice Lords" split up and got over to Paralake City, they'll try their luck over there. The "Traveling Vice Lords" are a part of the Almighty Vice Lord Nation (AVLN).
