Description
A group of adults and children gathered on a residential Love Canal street holding handmade protest signs. One sign reads, "Hurry and read my sign it may be my last." Another sign states, "You have done nothing." The participants wear casual clothing, including jackets and hoodies. The scene takes place outdoors on a sunny day, with trees and abandoned, boarded-up houses visible in the background. The mood is somber and serious.
