Mr. underwood's editorial defending tom robinson is surprising because

Mr. Underwood's editorial defending Tom Robinson was surprising because he is known for not liking African-American people. In Chapter 16, Atticus says, "'You know, it’s a funny thing about Braxton,' said Atticus. 'He despises Negroes, won’t have one near him.'" Although supposedly Mr. Underwood had these beliefs, it appears that he changed in the story, since he wrote an editorial about injustice.
