A group of Love Canal protesters, including both adults and children, are marching along a sidewalk beside a street near the Niagara Falls Convention Center for New York State Governor Hugh L. Carey's speech to New York State teachers in April 1979. Several individuals are holding signs with handwritten messages, many related to health concerns, environmental safety, and housing. Phrases on the signs include “RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS ARE NOT ENOUGH,” “ANYONE ON DEATH ROW WANT TO TRADE HOMES,” and “WILL I SEE 7?”. The group appears to be walking past a modern-style building with large windows. Trees and a parked car are visible in the background; photographed by Penelope D. Ploughman.
