Description
A group of children stands on a bench holding a handmade protest banner that reads “FOREST GLEN, Love Canal II, Niagara Falls, N.Y.” The scene takes place outdoors on a paved surface with trees and a mobile home or trailer in the background. Several adults and at least two news camerapeople are filming the demonstration. Tables and chairs are visible nearby, suggesting a community gathering or press event. The setting appears to be a residential area, and the banner references environmental concerns similar to those of the Love Canal disaster.
