Diane Wilson was a Texas shrimper—a fourth generation Texas
shrimper. She had started working on her family’s boat at age eight. By the
time she was twenty-four, she was a captain.
Then she read a newspaper report saying that her county was
the most polluted in the United States. She confronted four chemical plants to
stop them from dumping toxins into the bay.
You can find out more about Diane Wilson in Nobody Particular: One Woman’s Fight to Save
the Bays, written and illustrated by Molly Bang.
