Margaret Ann Knott was one of the heroes of the Civil Rights Movement in Choctaw County. On September 11th, 1971, Miss Knott was killed during a protest on the streets of Butler after being struck by a vehicle at the young age of 19. This project is to assist in funding the creation of a marker to be placed by the county to commemorate the life of Miss Knott and recognize her role in progressing the fight for Civil Rights in Choctaw County.
