He challenged a restaurant owner who refused him service.

According to Wikipedia, around a month after he was given the Medal of Honor for helping out in World War II he was refused service and beaten with a bat at a restaurant because he was Hispanic.

If this is incorrect, please, don't refrain to tell me.
