Description
A group of concerned citizen members of the Love Canal Homeowners Association, including Murray Levine (in the foreground, far right) seated in wooden pews inside a dimly lit church, namely, the Wesley United Methodist Church, Niagara Falls, New York. They appear attentive and solemn, looking forward toward a speaker or presentation. Two large pendant lights hang from the ceiling. The focus is on several individuals in the middle rows, while Murray Levine, in the the foreground, is out of focus. The gathering suggests a serious or concerned community discussion, involving the Love Canal environmental crisis.
