Louisiana high school golfer honored after club bars entry
Black high school golfer Dondre Green is celebrated by state officials after Caldwell Country Club barred his entry. White teammates accompanied him as he refused to play, prompting statements from Secretary Fox McKeithen and Governor Buddy Roemer. Green received an honorary legislator designation and LSU offered a scholarship as officials pledge to address Louisiana’s image. The club’s policy remains, though a special meeting may review it.
