Description
Seven Love Canal activists (left to right): unidentified woman, Marie Posniak, Lois Gibbs, Debbie Cerrillo, Miranda Dunn, unidentified woman, and Grace McCoulf are standing together in a wood-paneled interior room, smiling and laughing. One person near the center is lifting a leg into the air while others around them gesture or hold drinks. Behind the group are closed wooden doors, a patterned curtain or wallpaper, a wall clock, and a “TELEPHONE” booth sign. The mood is festive and informal.
