Signs and signboards

Several people stand on a sidewalk holding protest signs with slogans such as “Fences Don’t Stop Chemicals,” “A ‘Love’ Canal, It Is Not,” and “Governor Carey Only Makes Promises But Does Not Follow Through.” A child is visible among the group, also holding a sign. Storefronts, including one for “Francis Optical Co. Inc.” and “John Palumbo Real Estate,” are seen in the background across the street. A red vehicle is parked on the roadside, and the group appears to be engaged in a peaceful protest.
