Description

Several adults, including Love Canal activist Adeline Levine, are gathered on a grassy area near a sidewalk in front of a white house with dark shutters. A tripod is set up nearby. In the window of the house, a handmade sign reads, "LOVE CANAL Don't Fence US IN." The individuals appear engaged in conversation or observing the surroundings. The house has a small porch, and the yard includes some sparse grass and shrubbery.
