Judge Damon J. Keith: Equal Justice Before the Law
Judge Damon J. KeithUS Court of Appeals Judge Damon Keith always knew he would do something to make a difference. That "something" turned out to be transforming the way our courts, and our presidents, do business.
This documentary chronicles the journey of the creation of the NAACP, and how Thurgood Marshall, along with Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks, all contributed to opening doors for African Americans, doors that had never been opened before. Judge Keith threw those doors wide open through his landmark cases.
