Video Description:

I colorized, fully restored, and added immersive sound design to this rare footage of New York City's massive ticker-tape parade on April 20, 1951, honoring General Douglas MacArthur. Millions of New Yorkers filled the "Canyon of Heroes" on Lower Broadway to, creating a blizzard of paper and confetti as MacArthur, alongside Mayor Impellitteri, waved to the adoring crowds from his limousine. This historic event, one of the city’s most spectacular parades, showcased the immense public admiration for the general and remains one of New York's most memorable celebrations.

Video Restoration Process:
FPS boosted to 60 frames per second
Image resolution boosted up to HD
Improved video sharpness and brightness
Colorized only for the ambiance (not historically accurate)
added sound only for the ambiance
restoration:(stabilisation,denoise,cleand,deblur)

Please, be aware that colorization colors are not real and fake, colorization was made only for the ambiance and do not represent real historical data.

    What a masse of humanity . . . I imagine a small handful may still be alive but not many. Today those same streets are still a masse of humanity, just mostly illegals. And they vote. Oh, the idiotic fools running NY right into the crapper.
