Little Mason Steele is his father's very willing amanuensis, writing dutifully all his father's thoughts about the civil rights developments of his day--the 1960s. When the civil rights group gifts him with a typewriter, Mason's father gives it to him. Now he can type better than anyone in his school, being self-taught, and participates in a typing contest in his newly desegregated school. However, it is not clear that any of the white students will cheer for him if he wins.
