31 dic 1951 año - 1950 - 1952 SPANISH COBRAS EST.
Descripción:
It was in the streets of East Garfield Park where the Spanish Cobras were given birth in 1952 under the original name “Culebra Loca” meaning crazy Snakes, and were not put together by Richard Medina A.K.A King Cobra or any of the Medina brothers, Jaime or William, but Richard Medina was an original member which gets him mistaken as the founder.Before the 1950s East Garfield Park was an all-white west side neighborhood. In the early 1950s East Garfield Park experienced their first African American and Puerto Rican residents. Although the white residents did not mind the Puerto Ricans as much as the presence of blacks they still showed some hate and discrimination toward the newly arrived Puerto Ricans. Eventually white greaser clubs or just groups of wild white thugs started harassing the Puerto Rican youths, it was at this time that the Puerto Rican youths came together to form the “Culebra Loca.” I have no idea who the founder was and I am not sure if anyone does, it seems like that historical fact is long lost. But who knows maybe someone will show up with at least a nickname someday.
