The image shows speakers at a wooden podium during the Canal Homeowners Association Active Hose Dinner Dance on May 31, 1980 which took place in a room with wood-paneled walls and a drop ceiling. Lois Gibbs stands at a wooden podium with a microphone, flanked by three others behind her. One banner in the background reads "Town of Niagara Fire D[epartment]" with additional text suggesting a local context in Niagara County, New York. In the foreground, several individuals, including Adeline Levine (at far right) are seated at a table with cups and papers, some of them clapping while listening to the speaker.
