Exceptional 1940 AAU Track and Field Junior and Senior Championships Program a 44-page piece that includes the names of all the contestants including individual event listings. A previous owner has filled in the winners of many events in pencil or in black ink. Listed on page nine among the contestants representing the Southern California Athletic Club is one Jack Robinson who would in just seven years change the entire world. Just 21 years old we can only wonder if he had any idea of what was in store for him just a few short years later. VG/EX condition some wear to the individual pages consistent with use and irrespective of the writing within some slight separation at the spine. An early historical document of the most important sports figure in American history.
