Short video filmed and edited for teleSUR English in April 2016.
The Almighty Latin King and Queen Nation, or the Latin Kings, is the oldest and largest Latino gang in the United States.
They have developed an international presence in Latin American countries, such as Ecuador, Puerto Rico, Peru, and Mexico.
Largely stigmatized in Ecuador as criminals, the Latin Kings actually works on a variety of social initiatives, including
youth development, microfinancing projects, and community education. In 2007, Ecuador President Rafael Correa
legalized the group and publicly recognized their community work.
