As co-founder of deadly LA street gang, the Crips, Stanley 'Tookie' Williams was the most feared man on the streets of Los Angeles. In 1971, at the age of 17, he teamed up with Raymond Lee Washington and they formed their own gang, which would later be known as the Crips.Since his conviction for the murder or four people in 1981, Williams decries his own bloody legacy and his continued efforts to teach young people about the dangers of joining street gangs has earned him a Nobel Peace Prize nomination and a stay of execution on death row. This is his story.
