Description
Love Canal community activists Lois Gibbs (at left) and Marie Posniak seated at a table in an indoor setting with wood-paneled walls and a low ceiling. Both are wearing white T-shirts that read "LOVE CANAL Another Product from HOOKER CHEMICAL." Lois Gibbs has long curly hair adorned with a red and white floral decoration and is looking to the side; Marie Posniak, also with curly hair and glasses, appears to be engaged in conversation. A small camera and a white cup are visible on the table in the foreground. The setting suggests a community or activist meeting space.
