Description
A group of protesters stands on a sidewalk near a "Dead End" street sign during a Love Canal demonstration. Several individuals wear t-shirts reading “LOVE CANAL Another Product from HOOKER CHEMICAL.” One person holds a sign that reads “WE ARE Love Canal Boat People,” while another sign says “LOVE CANAL: NATIONAL SHAME.” Two children are visible in the foreground, one seated in a stroller and another standing nearby. Protest signs are partially visible on the left side, and a television news camera with a mounted light is also present. A building is visible in the background.
