The Black Spades is a predominantly African-American street gang. The organization was formed in the Bronxdale houses projects in New York City during the late 1960s and gained popularity in the 1970s. By the late 1980s, the gang began to spread from the Bronx to Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island in New York City, as well as New Rochelle in the state of New York, along with other locales in Massachusetts and Connecticut. During this period Latino and white members were more common. In 2019, the Black Spades have made a comeback, with more members joining. They are now TBS New Direction, a community service group championing anti-violence initiatives and providing food distribution for the food insecure.
