500    "Based on true events" -- title page verso. 
520    "An engrossing and 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 an 
       incredibly 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 or 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
