A group of people participates in a Love Canal protest, standing and sitting along a sidewalk and grassy area. Several individuals wear shirts referencing Love Canal and hold various protest signs. One visible sign reads “LOVE CANAL NATIONAL SHAME.” Another sign partially visible includes the words “Hooker dumped...” A yellow diamond-shaped “DEAD END” traffic sign is mounted on a pole in the center background. The scene is in a residential or institutional area with multi-story buildings in the background. A video camera appears in the foreground on the left.
