BiographyDuty was born in Jennings, Louisiana.[1] Duty married Nathaniel Duty, who later joined the military, in Shreveport in December 1945.[1] Nathaniel was stationed at Ellington Air Force Base and the couple moved to Houston.[1] Prior to joining the police force, Duty worked at the Houston Housing Authority.[2] Duty started working as a police trainee in Houston in July 1953.[3] Duty was not able to attend the police academy in Houston.[4] When she joined, there had already been three black male officers, making her the fourth African American on the force.[5] She was assigned to the Juvenile Division, where there were fewer instances of prejudice than in other departments on the force.{{Sfn|Roth|Kennedy|2012|p=244}}{{Sfn|Roth|Kennedy|2012|p=245}} However, Juvenile did have two different seniority lists: one for white officers and one for black officers.{{Sfn|Roth|Kennedy|2012|p=245}} There were also separate bathrooms and water fountains for black and white officers.[5] Duty stayed in the Juvenile division as a plain-clothes officer for twenty-three years.{{Sfn|Roth|Kennedy|2012|p=245}} She later worked for eleven years in the jail.{{Sfn|Roth|Kennedy|2012|p=245}} Duty retired from the police department in 1986.{{Sfn|Roth|Kennedy|2012|p=245}} She died on April 23, 2001 and was buried in Houston National Cemetery.[1] ReferencesCitations1. ^1 2 3 4 {{Cite web|url=https://tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/fdu76|title=Duty, Margie Annette Hawkins|last=Duncan|first=Robert J.|date=13 June 2013|website=Handbook of Texas Online|publisher=Texas State Historical Association|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=9 November 2017}} 2. ^{{Cite journal|last=|first=|date=30 July 1953|title=Houston (Tex.)
