Description
A group of three people stands indoors in front of a bulletin board covered with papers. Lois Gibbs' mother Patricia Conn stands behind two children. Her grandson Michael Gibbs wears a "Love Canal" t-shirt and holds a large, crumpled drawing depicting a playground with trees and children playing. The other child wears a Yankees jersey and stands with arms crossed. The setting appears dimly lit, with the focus on the drawing and the people.
