I think that this is a good site that reflects on the Beautiful Struggle because it informs readers of why gangs form. It talks about the social aspect of why kids join gangs and the reputation and "power" that it gives them. A lot of the time, kids are that join gangs, feel that it gives them a sense of family (however a false sense)and helps fill the part of their youth which is going unfilled.

This video I think is greatly important to this book because it talks stricly about the Black Panthers during the late 1960's and their role in society. It gives another outside view of what his father was doing while being a part of the Black Panthers.
