I am writing a paper using the ACM template which capitalizes every letter in the section title. I would like to escape a letter to make it lowercase, is this possible? I tried {p} as would be done to capitalize a letter in a bibliography with no luck.

The TeX primitive commands \uppercase and \lowercase are set up by default to work only with the 26 letters a–z and A–Z. The LaTeX commands \MakeUppercase and \MakeLowercase commands also change characters accessed by commands such as \ae or \aa .
use of \lowercase{text} will do the same work.
Lowercase letters are the shorter, smaller versions of letters (like w), as opposed to the bigger, taller versions (like W), which are called uppercase letters or capital letters. The adjective lowercase can also be used as a noun meaning the same thing as lowercase letter, though this is much less commonly used.
You can use the \lowercase{} command to force a letter to be lowercase, a la:
\documentclass{article}
\newcommand{\showuc}[1]{\MakeUppercase{#1}}
\begin{document}
\showuc{Hello There} \\
\showuc{Hello \lowercase{T}here} \\
\showuc{Hello Th\lowercase{e}re}
\end{document}
If this isn't effective in conjunction with the ACM template command, could you post which ACM template and which command/environment you're using?
