Public meetings

Community activists

A group of adults is seated in wooden pews inside a dimly lit building, likely a church or community hall. 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 a person in the foreground is out of focus. The gathering suggests a serious or concerned community discussion, possibly related to the Love Canal environmental crisis.
