Magnolia Willis Sealy and the members of the Women\u2019s Health Protective Association reshaped the ravages of the Great Storm into the glories of the Oleander City. The benevolent activism of Norris Wright Cuney transformed the social landscape, while actress Charlotte Walker and painter Boyer Gonzales Sr. extended the island\u2019s cultural reach abroad. In Unforgettable Galveston Characters, Jan Johnson has assembled a most welcome history of Galveston\u2019s many fascinating characters.<\/p>\n
