Here is an example summary of this reading selection:

In “Black Men and Public Space,” Brent Staples describes the fear he inspires simply by being a black man in a public space (walking the street, taking elevators, and so on). He recounts a number of incidents in which his blackness inspired such fear that he was afraid for his own safety, and he explains how he tries to set his “victims” at ease giving them a wide berth or by making himself seem less threatening by dressing up or whistling classical music. He has had to overcome his own anger at being mistaken for a criminal and devise strategies for setting others at east in order to live in the world with a modicum of safety.

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