An
FBI investigation was conducted to identify the leaders
and to determine policy of this group of youth gangs
who operated in the Harlem area of New York City during
the years 1965 - 1967. The name Five Percenters meant,
five percent of muslims who smoke and drink. This
group of teenage street gangs was without an overall
organization setup or a meeting place. They were influenced
by the teaching of the leader of the Nation of Islam,
Elijah Muhammed.
