Social Media Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 A daughter of murdered black civil rights activist Malcolm X says she is suing New York City Police Department and other agencies for his 1965 murder. Ilyasah Shabazz says US officials fraudulently concealed evidence that they "conspired to and executed their plan to assassinate" her father. She announced the planned legal action at the site where he was fatally shot in New York exactly 58 years ago. The FBI and CIA were also named in the legal filing, a lawyer said. Mrs Shabazz, 60, was two years old when she saw her father gunned down. Three armed men shot him 21 times as he was preparing to speak at a Harlem auditorium. "For years, our family has fought for the truth to come to light concerning his murder," she said on Tuesday at the venue, which has since been converted into a memorial site, as she filed notices of claims, a precursor to a lawsuit.

Emdog Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Huh. I always thought it was the nation of Islam who killed him for turning his back on their racist form of Islam and speaking out against Elijah Muhammed for womanizing and so forth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could well be the case the individuals from within the NoI were alone responsible for Malcolm Xs murder, but the family seem to believe otherwise.

thaibeachlovers Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 If I were a betting man I'd be betting on an out of court settlement. Money usually seems to mollify people these days. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
