Abstract
The article "Sister Night, Hooded Justice, and Racial Reckoning in Watchmen" by Diana Adesola Mafe explores the television series Watchmen and its examination of racism and the survival of Black people. The article discusses the characters Angela Abar/Sister Night and Will Reeves/Hooded Justice, who are seen as revisionist Black superheroes honoring Black histories. It offers an Afrofuturist and feminist interpretation of the series, which has been well-received and addresses race in America. The text also discusses the themes of legacy, inheritance, and racial justice in the show, as well as the portrayal of systemic racism within law enforcement and the role of Black heroes in reclaiming justice.
