Description
Love Canal resident and activist Marie Posniak is seated indoors at the Love Canal Homeowners Association Active Hose Dinner Dance fundraiser held on May 31, 1980. She is silhouetted against a dark background and is wearing a white T-shirt with the text “LOVE CANAL – Another Product From HOOKER CHEMICAL.” The green heart graphic replaces the “O” in “LOVE.” Marie has short curly dark hair, is wearing large round glasses, and is resting her chin lightly on her hand. Only part of the surrounding environment is visible due to the low lighting.
