We are the seventh cavalry.

We are no one, we are everyone, we are invisible and we will never compromise years before.

On the fateful white night the group killed police officers who protected minorities receiving reparations for racial injustice.

Since then, officers wear masks to conceal their identities including detective Angela a bar whose costume persona is sister night.

People who wear masks are driven by trauma.

They're obsessed with justice because of some injustice they suffered usually when they were kids with the mask.

The series opens on the 1921 Tulsa race massacre.

A true American tragedy often left out of history classes.

Unlike Alan Moore's graphic novel, the series isn't focused on morally reprehensible superheroes but rather racism and extremism and it is extremely difficult to be a white man in America right now.

So I'm thinking I might try being a blue one.
