PHILADELPHIA MUMMBERS PARADE

Jeremy Whitman makes a point while marching with the Comic Division of the Philadelphia Mummers during their annual New Year's Parade in downtown Philadelphia January 6, 2007. The Mummers (believed to be named after the German word for disguise)--mostly white, blue-collar men--have celebrated New Years every year since 1901 by dressing up in wild costumes and marching up Broad Street in downtown Philadelphia.
