Inside a crowded meeting of the Love Canal Homeowners Association at the Wesley United Methodist Church in Niagara Falls, New York, a child is being lifted into the air in the foreground, wearing a light blue top and brown pants. The child’s arms are raised near her head, and her face is slightly blurred due to the motion. In the background, a man stands among seated attendees with his hand raised. The church interior has a high, vaulted ceiling with hanging cylindrical lights and narrow windows set into the brick walls. The audience appears engaged, with several people watching the standing man; photographed by Penelope D. Ploughman.
