Description
A person wearing a “Love Canal: Another Product From Hooker Chemical” T-shirt stands on a grassy area next to a child wearing a shirt labeled “JUSTIN.” They are near three life-sized effigies laid out on the grass, including one with a caricature mask resembling U.S. President Jimmy Carter. Signs on the effigies and ground read “Get Hooker,” “President Carter GOD,” and other protest messages. The image captures a moment from a public demonstration. Trees and shrubbery form the background under a clear sky.
