CRIPS: The Original Story from Which The Movie "South Central" Was Made

CRIPS is the story of why nearly 10,000 people were destined to get killed during the 1970's, 80's, and 90's in a Black social explosion that began in Los Angeles then spread across this nation. This is the story of O.G. Jimmie Black (aka O.G. Bobby Johnson in the movie SOUTH CENTRAL), a Black Everyman in the tradition of Bigger Thomas, who evolves during those explosive years in South Central L.A. from the Watts Rebellion (1965) to just prior to the the L.A. Uprising (1992). It is the story of a father and son's triumph in the midst of America's most deadly gang war. CRIPS has been the break through book for many who, probably, would never have completed a book, otherwise, but who are avid readers, today.
