A large group of people fills wooden pews in a church, namely,the Wesley United Methodist Church, Niagara Falls, New York, with tall, narrow stained glass windows along the brick walls. Most individuals are seated, facing forward, and appear to be listening intently. The audience includes people of various ages, including a child in the foreground wearing blue. Lighting is dim and the setting suggests a community gathering or public meeting, focusing on the Love Canal environmental crisis.
