It's sad that Joe Louis' contributions to his country are somewhat forgotten

I heard a story of Marciano helping out Louis financially later in life too and they showed a scene of him doing this in the Marciano cable movie, is this true?

Max Schmeling and Frank Sinatra helped Louis out the most.

Joe Louis paved the way for Jackie Robinson.

Joe deserves as much credit for being a breaker of racial barriers as anyone.

Even sadder is how the IRS hounded him for income that was a charitable donation rather than part of any earnings. Bunch of douchebags.
