Description
WKBW-TV reporter Miranda Dunn (at left) and Love Canal activist Lois Gibbs (at right) are standing together in front of a microphone, smiling and holding up a large card filled with handwritten messages. The card’s lower section contains printed text, including the words “Love Canal” and “We will always miss you.” Lois Gibbs, in front at right, wearing red with a flower in her hair, appears to be receiving the card. A microphone and speaker equipment are visible in the foreground, and heavy curtains hang in the background. The scene suggests a farewell or appreciation event.
