“What happened to the ‘gangbanger,’” the photojournalist Joseph Rodríguez (@rollie6x6) and the author Rubén Martínez ask in #nytopinion, “the figure who ruled hip-hop — and, seemingly, the streets of America’s cities — from the late 1980s to the end of the millennium? Americans projected their racial and social anxieties onto this figure, inflating him into a ‘superpredator,’ fuel for the tough-on-crime policies of the ’90s. By the turn of the century, though, the gangbanger’s power waned in our imaginations, drained by the exploitation of the entertainment industry and by the fact that so many actual gang members had been swept into prison.” In 1992, @rollie6x6 began documenting the lives of gang members in #BoyleHeights, a majority Mexican-American district on Los Angeles’s East Side. His photos showed guns and tattoos, but also relationships between family members. Decades later and with support from @economichardship, @rollie6x6 returned to see what had become of his former subjects. He took this photo of Alfred Sepulveda, a former gang member, with his daughter in 2012. “I don’t gang bang anymore,” Alfred told @rollie6x6. “I want to be a father to my daughter.” Visit the link in our profile to read more in #nytopinion.
