The Four Corner Hustlers were founded around Madison Street in the 1960s by Walter Wheat and Freddy Malik Gauge. The Four Corner Hustlers at first were a single gang that would wear the colors black and brown, but was not in an alliance until the Vice Lords and the Four Corner Hustlers then became allies which later formed the group now known as People Nation and wear typically snapbacks and bandanas to the left side, as do the People. The gang colors are black and red and black and gold, serving under Vice Lords. They associate themselves with a black diamond with "points" at each corner.
Other symbols used by "4CH" are a top hat, a wine glass, and a rabbit. Each member is required to know "The Lit," which is the gangs statement, or creed, part of which states a commitment to love and support for their family and strive for peace within one's community.
