Description
A large group of people gathers for a Love Canal protest along a sidewalk in front of a brick building. Many wear T-shirts labeled “LOVE CANAL” and hold handmade signs. One prominent sign reads “We Are Love Canal Boat People.” Several children are also present, some holding signs. Members of the media are seen interviewing participants, with microphones and cameras in use. A white police motorcycle is parked in the foreground, and a yellow “DEAD END” traffic sign is visible in the background near a tree.
