Description
Three effigies lie on the grass as part of a Love Canal protest. One effigy wears a sign reading “President Carter GOD,” and another smaller doll has a sign reading “Amy Carter.” A person in a red shirt is crouched and leaning over the effigies, while another person’s legs are partially visible behind the sign. Protest materials and media equipment are visible in the background on the lawn.
