Description
Michael Gibbs is the son of Lois Gibbs.
An adult and a child are seated indoors against a wall with papers pinned to it. The child is wearing a white t-shirt with the slogan "LOVE CANAL Another Product From HOOKER CHEMICAL" printed on the front. The adult is holding a piece of crumpled paper with large, handwritten letters. The lighting is low, creating shadows on their faces. The image suggests participation in the Love Canal environmental protest movement.
