The family of slain civil rights leader Malcolm X marked the anniversary of his 1965 assassination by announcing plans to sue agencies including the CIA, FBI, the NYPD and others for $100 million, accusing them of playing a role in his death
Three men were convicted, but two were exonerated in 2021 after a renewed investigation into the cases against them showed the evidence used to gain convictions was shaky and that authorities had held back some information. New York State and City have already paid out $26 million for the wrongful conviction of Muhammad Aziz and Khalil Islam, who were falsely accused of aiding triggerman Mujaheed Halim.
“For years our family has fought for the truth to come to light," she said at the news conference. “We want justice served for our father.” Crump noted the anniversary date and said that ever since then,"there has been speculation as to who was involved in the assassination of Malcolm X.”
