Joe Louis Golfing
Légende
San Diego, California: 1952
Former world heavyweight boxing champion Joe Louis playing at the PGA sponsored San Diego Open Golf Tournament at the San Diego Country Club. The PGA at the time had a "Caucasian Only" clause so Louis with others put together a petition to Governor Pat Brown who declared the clause unconstitutional, and the PGA then allowed Louis to play as an exempt amateur, becoming the first African-American to compete in a PGA sanctioned event.
