Highlight floats are Mexico (1:20), City of Los Angeles (1:46), San Francisco (2:21), L.A. Times (2:40), the American Legion float featuring the Iwo Jima Flag Raising (2:44), Monterey Park "Mr & Mrs. America" (4:24), Victory (5:20), Long Beach (6:25), a Lincoln themed float (13:32) with what appear to be African Americans dressed as slaves or sharecroppers, and more. At 10:41 the parade is over and some of the award winning floats are shown in detail.
