Description
A group of individuals stands in a line along a covered sidewalk outside a building, holding handwritten protest signs. The signs include messages such as “Niagara Falls needs tourists not toxic waste,” “Enough is enough! Stop CECOS site #6,” “Toxic time bomb—Stop CECOS now,” and “Our backyard is full!” Some signs refer to an "environmental report card" and label the area as a “disaster area.” The scene appears to be a public demonstration against a hazardous waste site or landfill. The group includes both children and adults.
