When did the Aryan Brotherhood become established?

  1. 1960

  2. 1967

  3. 1970

  4. 1975

The correct answer is: 1967

The Aryan Brotherhood was established in 1967, after a group of white inmates at San Quentin State Prison in California formed a gang primarily to protect themselves from other racial groups. The group's formation was a response to the civil rights movement and growing tensions between different racial factions in prisons. Initially intended for self-protection, the Aryan Brotherhood evolved into a violent gang that engaged in criminal activities both inside and outside of prison, often promoting white supremacist ideology. This context of the gang's origin is significant in understanding the timeline and motivations behind its establishment.
