David Barksdale (born Donise David Barksdale; May 24, 1947 – September 2, 1974), also known as King Dave, was an American gangster and activist from Chicago, Illinois. He was the founder of the Black Disciples. He and Larry Hoover (leader of the Gangster Disciples) decided to merge and create the Black Gangster Disciple Nation. Barksdale was seen as a hero in the black community because he operated a free breakfast program in Englewood to poor children, and he and the Disciples marched with Martin Luther King Jr. in Marquette Park. He was a close friend of Fred Hampton. Barksdale died on September 2, 1974, due to kidney failure, at the age of 27.
