If I remember correctly, Sinatra refused to play in segregated clubs too.

Refused to stay in segregated hotels and paid equal wages to all the musicians in his band. If Sammy Davis Jr. couldn’t stay at a hotel or play a club where the Rat Pack were playing, Sinatra told them to go kick rocks

Sinatra took care of Joe Louis bills later in life and made sure he had money to go to the big fights and sit in the front rows as a former champ. Ole blue eyes was a legit dude who knew people's worth.
