The Talented Tenth

The Talented Tenth is a group of young black powered people picked from various HBCU's. If they accept their invitation they become a member, and undergo training in their headquarters until they're ready. When they were first were created each member would choose a name, it'd be from a famous black person or folktale throughout history to inspire people. And the next member to fill their shoes would continue on in that name or choose someone else to emulate. This was later abandoned in the 1960's.   Current Roster:
  • Saving Grace
  • North Star
  • Railroad
  • Ironwill

Past Members:

  They frequently come into conflict with the Freemen and Hollowheart.

The group was first organized early in the 18th century by W.E.B. Du Bois. It would later add other leaders and bright minds of the community to be a support system for the team. The small amount of people with powers started fighting back against the injustices they were facing. They've battled government forces, militias, civilian groups and villains ever since their inception, and will continue to do so as long as they're able.

Public Agenda

The Talented Tenth is a group that was established to aid in the protection, enrichment, safety and progression of African Americans. At a time when many wouldn't stand for them, and now that times have changed, they protect anyone in their general territory.
