The truth about the circumstances leading to the death of our father is important not only to his family but to many followers, many admirers, many who looked to him for guidance, for love. For years our family has fought for the truth to come to light concerning his murder, and we’d like our father to receive the justice that he deserves. And so, what we have to do is connect the dots. And since that time, there has been speculation as to who was involved in the assassination of Malcolm X. Well, during the news conference, I asked the family’s attorney, Ben Crump, about the role of the CIA in the murder of Malcolm X. We know, on November 18th, 2021, it was confirmed and substantiated that the government agencies — the New York Police Department, the FBI, the district attorney of New York — had factual evidence, exculpatory evidence, that they fraudulently concealed from the men who were wrongfully convicted for the assassination of Malcolm X, and they also fraudulently concealed that information, most importantly, from the family of Malcolm X. We know that based on their wrongful conviction, that the government settled the matter of Mr. So, today at the Malcolm X and Dr. Ilyasah Shabazz and civil rights attorney Ben Crump, standing at the site of the assassination February 21st, 1965, in the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem, held a news conference. We air excerpts of Tuesday’s public comments from Crump and one of Malcolm X’s daughters, Ilyasah Shabazz, of their intent to file a wrongful death lawsuit over evidence concealed in the murder investigation, in part to seek answers on the extent of the government’s involvement in the civil rights leader’s death. In 2021, a judge tossed out the convictions against the men, Muhammad Aziz and the late Khalil Islam, after finding serious miscarriages of justice. Aziz and Islam’s convictions were overturned in 2021, and they were awarded a $36 million settlement for wrongful imprisonment by the state and city of New York.

And that's important that we as a society as a community recognized." Darryl Heller, Ph.D., Director of the Civil Rights Heritage Center. "I just think that it's important that we do recognize the contribution of women," Heller said.

The family, joined by lawyer Ben Crump, is seeking $100 million in a wrongful death suit, alleging that evidence was concealed in the murder.

Months later, the city reached a $26 million [settlement ](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/30/nyregion/malcom-x-muhammad-aziz-khalil-islam-settlement.html)with Aziz and Islam’s estate, with the [state](https://www.npr.org/2022/10/31/1132757141/the-men-exonerated-in-the-malcolm-x-killing-will-receive-36-million) agreeing to pay an additional $10 million. He long maintained that the two men were not involved and that he worked with other accomplices. “The rhetorical question is this: If the government compensated the two gentlemen that were wrongfully convicted for the assassination of Malcolm X with tens of millions of dollars, then what is to be the compensation for the daughters who suffered the most from the assassination of Malcolm X?” Crump said.

Two of his daughters, Ilyasah Shabazz and Qubilah Shabazz, were joined by attorney Ben Crump at a news conference at the site of the former Audubon Ballroom in Washington Heights, where Malcolm X was fatally shot as a crowd gathered to hear him speak on Feb.

Crump says he wants to subpoena Halim, now in his 80s, hoping Malcolm X’s murderer will finally tell all he knows about the real co-conspirators.

For more than half a century, the circumstances surrounding Malcolm X's assassination have been shrouded in mystery, fueling conspiracy theories about ...

According to Crump, these comments from the New York District Attorney’s office—combined with the city’s $26 million settlement—are what opened the door for Malcolm X’s family to build a case against authorities. Crump, the lawyer representing Malcolm X’s family, said on Tuesday that their lawsuit will allege that government agencies were involved in the conspiracy to assassinate Malcolm X. In November, a judge dismissed the convictions of Butler and Johnson after Vance acknowledged that “it was clear these men did not receive a fair trial.” New York City was ordered to pay $26 million to the pair to compensate them for their wrongful murder convictions. “They decided instead to protect their assets; there seemed to be a desire to wrap up the investigation quickly. In 1977, Hayer named four men who were members of the Nation of Islam’s Newark chapter who he said had begun planning Malcolm X’s murder in May 1964. He said that he was approached by two of the four men, who told him that Malcolm X should be killed. He was assassinated a year later as he was preparing to give a speech about the mission of his new group, the Organization of Afro-American Unity, at the Audubon Ballroom in New York City on Feb. [In the more than half a century since his death](https://time.com/3502682/malcolm-x-and-the-nation-of-islam-eve-arnolds-quietly-powerful-portraits/), what actually happened that day has remained the subject of controversy and conspiracy theories. Others have suggested that they did not need to plot to murder him since he was already a target. But since his 1966 trial, he has maintained that the other two Nation of Islam members convicted in the murder were innocent: Norman Butler (a.k.a Muhammad Abdul Aziz) and Thomas Johnson (a.k.a Khalil Islam). Two other people then ran up to the stage and also fired. In March 1964, Malcolm X announced that he was leaving the Nation of Islam over disagreements with Elijah Muhammad, the group’s leader.

Now that Malcolm X has been added to the Nebraska Hall of Fame, admirers asked lawmakers Wednesday to make his May 19 birthday a state holiday.

She also argued against creating a new state holiday, suggesting that perhaps Malcolm X and King could be honored with a combined day, similar to the way Presidents Day is handled. She said the celebration could attract visitors from other states and other countries, as well as encourage young people to learn more about him. But she said his words still speak to her, even as a 78-year-old white woman from rural Nebraska. Malcolm X may be the most famous Nebraskan internationally, McKinney said. Both King and Malcolm X were assassinated. He spent time in foster care as a teenager and wound up in prison as a young man but transformed his life and became a major advocate for Black empowerment and an internationally known human rights activist.

A financial analysis of the measure estimates that creating a Malcolm X holiday would cost the State of Nebraska about $1.5 million the first year, based on employees who would be required to work on the holiday. LB 53 is a repeat attempt by State Sen. “Making space in the school year to discuss Malcolm X will set up important conversations that can pave the way for future civic participation,” said Snipes, who said she was a teen-ager at Bryan High School when she learned that Malcolm X was from Nebraska. LB 53 describes Malcolm X as “a human rights leader, a staunch advocate, and a pursuer of freedom, justice and equality.”
