Here is an example summary of this reading selection:

In “Right Place, Wrong Face,” Alton Fitzgerald, a Broadway actor, recounts being arrested in the lobby of his building simply for being in the “wrong place” while black. The police were looking for two Latino men, but they arrested Fitzgerald and two new neighbors (also black men), despite their offering help. The humiliating experience, in stark contrast to his usual Friday routine, demonstrated to Fitzgerald powerlessness against racial prejudice and undid his parents’ teachings that respect can be earned.

Your summary will differ from this one in the way it is written, but it should include roughly the same information.
