Description
Two handmade protest signs are displayed in a yard in front of a house with white siding and shuttered windows. The top sign reads: “Politicians solution to the pollution, give 'em food stamps!!” The bottom sign says: “WELCOME TO RAINBOW CITY. Come see our Multi-color TOXIC CHEMICALS,” with colorful lettering and a drawing of a skull and crossbones. The signs express frustration with environmental conditions and governmental response.
