Answer

Golf is one of the sports that Louis helped integrate. In 1952, he joined a public golf course in Chicago and refused to leave when he was told that blacks were not allowed. He was arrested and then acquitted in court. Louis's actions helped to break down the color barrier in golf and paved the way for other black golfers to compete in the sport.
