Dr. Robert Luckett discusses the 50th anniversary of Jubilee in the Jackson Free Press.  He explains: "… Margaret came to Jackson in 1949 as an extremely well-educated black female intellectual and writer, artist, teacher. It was incredibly dangerous during that period of the early years of the Civil Rights Movement to be any of those things … and she was all of them at once."
