The family of civil rights activist Malcolm X has sued the CIA, FBI, New York Police Department (NYPD), and other agencies over their alleged roles in his 1965 assassination.
The $100 million lawsuit, filed Friday in a New York City federal court, was announced by attorneys Ben Crump and Raymond Hamlin alongside the late activist’s relatives at a press conference.
Ilyasah Shabazz, one of X’s five living daughters, stood on stage while Crump announced the lawsuit against the “United States government, the FBI, the CIA, and the NYPD, who we believe all conspired to assassinate Malcolm X”:
