Description
The image shows two individuals participating in a protest. One person in the foreground is wearing a white shirt that references Hooker Chemical and the Love Canal disaster. Another person in sunglasses stands behind a handwritten protest sign that begins with “Hooker dumped on...” and continues out of frame. A yellow diamond-shaped “DEAD END” street sign is prominently visible in the background above their heads. The setting appears to be a grassy public area, and additional people are seen in the background.
