Description
A person stands among a group of people during a public gathering or protest. They are wearing a white T-shirt with black text that reads: “LOVE CANAL Another Product from HOOKER CHEMICAL.” The scene appears to take place outdoors near parked vehicles, with other individuals partially visible in the background. The lighting is relatively dark, giving the image a high-contrast appearance.
