Who killed Malcolm X? Family files $100 million lawsuit against CIA, FBI, NYPD to find the truth
(Democracy Now!) Latest shows. On the 58th anniversary of Malcolm X's assassination, civil rights lawyer Benjamin Crump announced a new lawsuit from Malcolm X's surviving family seeking compensation from the NYPD, CIA, and FBI for their role in concealing evidence in this political-murder case.

Careful you don't have an "accident," Mr. X

The lawsuit comes more than a year after it was confirmed that federal and local agencies had a role in the wrongful conviction of Black patsies Muhammad Abdul Aziz and Khalil Islam for the planned murder.

Aziz and Islam's convictions were overturned in 2021, and they were awarded a $36 million settlement for wrongful imprisonment by the state and city of New York.

Democracy Now! airs excerpts of Tuesday's public comments from Crump and one of Malcolm X's daughters, Ilyasah Shabazz, of their intent to file a wrongful death lawsuit over evidence concealed in the murder investigation, in part to seek answers on the extent of the government's involvement in the civil rights leader's death.
