Latest News: Malcolm X’s Family Files Wrongful Death Lawsuit Against the Feds
The family of Malcom X filed a $ million wrongful death lawsuit against the U.S. government on November 15 over the assassination of the civil rights activist. The suit, brought by his estate and three of his daughters, claims that the FBI, CIA, and New York Police Department were aware of and involved in the assassination plot and “failed to intervene on his behalf.”
The lawsuit accuses the agencies of intentionally arresting Malcom X’s security detail days before he was shot and removing their undercover officers from the inside the New York City ballroom where he was killed. It further alleges they concealed evidence and information about his death from the family and the public. “It has taken us a long time to get to this point,” Ilyasah Shabazz, Malcolm X’s daughter, said during a press conference the day the lawsuit was filed in Manhattan court.
