Mr. Underwood's editorial talked about Tom Robinson's trial. Scout said that "He likened Tom's death to the senseless slaughter of songbirds by hunters and children" (241). This clearly meant that Underwood was not happy about it. So in short he published an editorial that went against most southerners' beliefs. This shows that some people are actually different and believe that black people are not inferior to white people. They are also brave enough to do so.

Mr. Underwood's editorial talked about Tom Robinson's trial. He did it in such a way that demonstrated he was not happy about what was going on. What he wrote went against most of the people's beliefs. It is important because it helps us realize that there are outstanding people that believe blacks are equal.

The editorial talked about Tom's trial. It was written in his point of view. He defended Tom Robinson. This was an important event in the story because it showed that not all people in Maycomb were racist. That not all whites though that black people were inferior to them. It shows that Mr.Underwood had the courage to write his feelings, and his feelings had no sign of racism against black.
