Malcolm X's Family Files Wrongful Death Lawsuit Against NY and Federal Authorities
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The family of Malcolm X is filing a $100 million wrongful death lawsuit
against the FBI, the CIA, New York City and state, the NYPD and the
District Attorney's Office for concealing evidence of their involvement
in Malcolm X's 1965 assassination. Two men were convicted of his murder
and spent decades in prison but were fully exonerated in 2021. Later in
the broadcast, we'll air comments on the lawsuit from Malcolm X's
daughter Ilyasah Shabazz and civil rights attorney Ben Crump.
