Description
A group of people stand on a grassy area holding protest signs related to Love Canal. Several individuals wear white shirts with “Love Canal: Another Product from Hooker Chemical” printed on them. A yellow “Dead End” street sign is prominently visible in the background. One person in the foreground, facing away from the camera, holds a notepad, possibly a journalist or organizer. The atmosphere suggests a daytime public demonstration or gathering.
