Ed Mason, whose family has lived in Burlington for generations, has polio. By 1958, when he is in his teens, he is weak, walks with a limp, and wears thick-lens eyeglasses. And when Ed, who is white, is beaten by four black boys, he cannot defend himself-but someone else can.

Burt Mason, a black teen, steps in and rescues Ed. Burt shares more than Ed's last name. He himself was in a similar situation a year ago: kidnapped by two white men, he was saved from certain death by two other white men, Ed's grandfathers. Although Burt's family was grateful for his safe return, they refused to report the matter to the police. When Burt asked why, he learned about the Burlington Agreement and his family's pivotal role in honoring it.
