  We construct an effective QCD light-front Hamiltonian for both mesons and
baryons in the chiral limit based on the generalized supercharges of a
superconformal graded algebra. The superconformal construction is shown to be
equivalent to a semi-classical approximation to light-front QCD and its
embedding in AdS space. The specific breaking of conformal invariance inside
the graded algebra uniquely determines the effective confinement potential. The
generalized supercharges connect the baryon and meson spectra to each other in
a remarkable manner. In particular, the $\pi/b_1$ Regge trajectory is
identified as the superpartner of the nucleon trajectory. However, the
lowest-lying state on this trajectory, the $\pi$-meson is massless in the
chiral limit and has no supersymmetric partner.
