It’s with a sad heart to hear of the passing of a GIANT like Margaret. I have so many stories and memories of her. She treated me like one of her sons. I owe a great deal to her.
I remember running for President of the City Council and saying to her no Black has every won and people are saying you can’t win. This was in 1981. She looked at me and said that’s what they said to me and I’m the State Senator today, 1980. Thanks Margaret! R.I.P.
Margaret Morton was a gentle, deeply caring person who forced you to be embarrassed if you dared not respect your fellow human being. She was among the best of us.
Mrs. Morton, thank you. March 2012 is Women’s History Month and out of respect to Mrs. Morton here is something by Sojourner Truth:
“If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it, the men better let them.”–Sojourner Truth, Ain’t I a Woman?
Margaret and George Pipkin are back together again.

She was the epitome of a lady–class, style and dignity. May she rest in peace.
