Civil Rights Attorney Ben Crump Announces Intent To Sue Gov't Agencies And The NYPD Over Assassination Conspiracy of Malcolm X

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - FEBRUARY 21: Ilyasah Shabazz, daughter of Malcolm X, speaks during a press conference at the Malcolm X & Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center on February 21, 2023 in New York City. On the 58th anniversary of civil rights leader Malcolm X's death, civil rights attorney Ben Crump along with the family of the late civil rights leader announced their intent to sue the NYPD and several government agencies over their alleged 'concealment of evidence' in his murder. The lawsuit alleges that the agencies had access to factual and exculpatory evidence that was kept from Malcolm X's family and the individuals wrongly convicted of crimes connected to his assassination. In 2021, Muhammad Aziz and Khalil Islam were exonerated after a nearly two-year investigation by their lawyers and the Manhattan DA and awarded a total of $36 million. (Photo by Michael M.
