On display at The Museum of The City Of New York. A blast from the past, the colors (aka cut) of the street formation (aka gang by the powers that be) “Savage Nomads”.
The Savage Nomads were mostly a Puerto Rican and African American (brown and black) street formation/gang that started in the South Bronx area of The Bronx, New York during the late 1960s, gaining popularity in the 1970s founded by Benjamin Buxton. There were other street formations (gangs) that were created in the South Bronx too like “Savage Skulls”, “Reapers”, “Supreme/Midnight Bachelors” and the “Black Spades” and many others. They watched over and protected their territories and their communities in the South Bronx and were consider family and comrades amongst themselves.
