He fought for a nation that denied him his rights. Then he fought to change it. When Judge Damon J. Keith was just "Damon," he enlisted in a segregated army hoping that the camaraderie of patriotism would transcend the racism he had known in his early life. That didn't happen. He was restricted to kitchen duties and then, upon his return from service, was granted fewer civil rights than Nazi POWs. Judge Keith cites this as the time in his life when he was most angry; when he felt most disillusioned with the country he had served and continues to serve to this day.

Walk with Me: The Trials of Damon J. Keith (2016) Reviews
Excellent Documentary in a year of great docs
I discovered WALK WITH ME: THE TRIALS OF DAMON J. KEITH at a traveling film festival of winners from The Middlebury (VT) New Filmmakers Festival. Presented in the same cinema within three-screen Red River Theatres in Concord, NH which had been hosting Oscar nominee I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO, this equally fascinating documentary focuses on a subject with whom I was not familiar. The film plays delightful homage to a giant in jurisprudence, a protégé of Thurgood Marshall, and a judge whose career as s a Senior Judge for the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit has not ended at age 95! Told in chapters by major court decision over which Keith presided, the film features impressive footage, interviews, still photos and especially well-done graphics that teach the history of this amazing man and the changes in America over which he has been a major influence. In the year of I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO, 13TH, and OJ SIMPSON: MADE IN America, I'd encourage a distributor to pick this one up and help spread it nationwide!
