Abstract

The article discusses the ongoing legal efforts by the family of civil rights leader Malcolm X to sue the FBI, New York Police Department (NYPD), and CIA for $100 million, alleging that these agencies concealed evidence related to his assassination in 1965. The family’s announcement coincided with the anniversary of Malcolm X's death, which has been surrounded by conspiracy theories regarding potential government involvement. Two men wrongfully convicted of his murder were exonerated in 2021 after it was revealed that law enforcement had withheld exculpatory evidence. The family's attorney, Ben Crump, claims that high-ranking officials conspired to assassinate Malcolm X, highlighting the historical surveillance and scrutiny he faced from federal and local authorities.
