Margaret Edwards

Margaret was one of 15 children who migrated as a family from Mississippi to rural Illinois in the 1950s. They were part of the Black migration from the South to the North. Most people moved to the larger cities like Chicago and Detroit, but Anna's father had other ideas and moved to Mt. Vernon , IL.

Margaret dealt with  family strife and racial discrimination with determination and purpose.

With a PhD in hand, she spent 30 years of her life working in International Schools in India, Sudan and South America. In each location, she organized a community theater, her passion.

Margaret now resides in Florida with her husband.
