Black History 365 | # 76 Stanley "Tookie" Williams

June 7, 2024

This is Stanley Tookie Williams III, best known as the founder of The Crips. Williams and his mother moved to Los Angeles, California in 1959.  Williams spent his early-middle adolescence wandering the streets fighting, and ended up making a name for himself doing just that. He did not attend school and instead engaged in petty theft and occasional robbery.  Eventually meeting Raymond Washington who had a similar lifestyle, the teenagers started the crips. It eventually evolved into one of the largest street gangs in California.
