Description
Patricia Conn and her grandson Michael Gibbs (Love Canal activist Lois Gibbs' mother and son) sitting indoors in front of a wall covered with papers and posters. Michael Gibbs wears a white t-shirt reading “LOVE CANAL Another Product From HOOKER CHEMICAL” and holds a crumpled piece of paper in one hand. Patricia Conn also holds a similar piece of paper. The setting appears informal and dimly lit, consistent with a protest or grassroots meeting environment.
