Official program for New York City's "Welcome Olympians" celebration of the returning United States team, 8.75 x 12, ten pages, featuring a schedule of events for the week-long festivities, culminating in a ticker-tape parade on September 3, 1936. The centerfold boasts portraits of America's first-place winners, including track stars Jesse Owens and Ralph Metcalfe. A message from Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, bearing his facsimile signature, makes a point of welcoming all those who represented their country in Berlin: "Like all Americans, regardless of race, creed or color, every New Yorker is proud and happy over the achievements of the representatives of our country in the 1936 Olympic games." In fine condition.
