500    "Based on true events"--Title page verso 
520    A "counter view of one of the most dangerous elements of 
       American urban history, this graphic novel tells the true 
       story of Benjy Melendez, son of Puerto-Rican immigrants, 
       who founded, at the end of the 1960s, the notorious Ghetto
       Brothers gang. From the seemingly bombed-out ravages of 
       his neighborhood, wracked by drugs, poverty, and violence,
       he managed to extract ... positive energy from this riot-
       ridden era: his multiracial gang promoted peace rather 
       than violence. After initiating a gang truce, the Ghetto 
       Brothers held weekly concerts on the streets of in 
       abandoned buildings, which fostered the emergence of hip-
       hop. Melendez also began to reclaim his Jewish roots after
       learning about his family's dramatic crypto-Jewish 
       background"--|cProvided by publisher
