Description
Michael Gibbs is the son of Lois Gibbs.
An adult and a child are sitting indoors in front of a wall covered with papers and posters. The child wears a white t-shirt reading “LOVE CANAL Another Product From HOOKER CHEMICAL” and holds a crumpled piece of paper in one hand. The adult also holds a similar piece of paper. The setting appears informal and dimly lit, consistent with a protest or grassroots meeting environment.
