American Legion Convention Parade, Fifth Avenue, NYC

A black and white photograph showing a group of men wearing comical outfits with oversized ties and hats resembling dunce caps. They have slogans and numbers painted on their clothing, such as "59 3/4 WRECKING CREW" and "JOSEPH." Two police officers are standing to the left, conversing with one of the men in costume. The group appears to be part of a parade or public event, with a city street and buildings in the background.
