Three daughters of the late civil rights activist Malcolm X are suing the CIA, FBI, and the New York Police Department in a $100 million lawsuit.
In the lawsuit, the three daughters claim the CIA, FBI, and NYPD played a role in their father’s assassination.
The lawsuit was filed in a Manhattan federal court and claims the agencies were involved in Malcolm X’s death and failed to prevent his assassination.
Malcolm X was assassinated on February 21, 1965, in Manhattan while delivering a speech.
Three men were convicted in connection to the assassination of the civil rights activist, but two of them were later exonerated in 2021 after new evidence was presented.
Attorney Ben Crump represents Malcolm X’s daughter and, in a press conference, shared that he hopes federal and city officials “learn all the dastardly deeds that their predecessors did and try to right these historical wrongs.”

Per AP:
Three daughters of Malcolm X have accused the CIA, FBI, the New York Police Department and others in a $100 million lawsuit Friday of playing roles in the 1965 assassination of the civil rights leader.
In the lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal court, the daughters — along with the Malcolm X estate — claimed that the agencies were aware of and were involved in the assassination plot and failed to stop the killing.
At a morning news conference, attorney Ben Crump stood with family members as he described the lawsuit, saying he hoped federal and city officials would read it “and learn all the dastardly deeds that were done by their predecessors and try to right these historic wrongs.”
The NYPD and CIA did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Nicholas Biase, a spokesperson for the Department of Justice, which was also sued, declined comment. The FBI said in an email that it was its “standard practice” not to comment on litigation.

Nothing would surprise me.
Iceberg meet tip.
Revisionist history be damned!
Malcolm X was assassinated by black, extremist-fringe competitors...
Just like in Chicago, whenever a Hutu cannibal takes out a rival Tutsi, it’s always Whities fault.
Show me the money. /spit
“Malcolm X was assassinated by black, extremist-fringe competitors...”
That is true.
The more interesting question is if they given any assistance by or had connections with the COINTELPRO folks.

100 million is not a whole lotta money these days
Crump.
We know who he is.
Political implications are interesting.
I wonder why the MLK family has not done the same??
All I can say is “Get your hands out of my pocket!”
So….60 years later…
Let’s have the truth. Whatever it is.
Malcolm wasn’t radical enough. He had to go. My wife still has her paperback
copy of his Autobiography. She was a big Jewish Lib back in those days. I recommend the book. Seriously.

Interesting that when leftists institute civil actions like this, or criminal cases, the statute of limitations never seems to apply

Malcolm X, Family Bombed Out of Home
By JOHN MALLON
Malcolm X, the black nationalist leader who charges that Elijah Muhammad’s Black Muslims have been plotting against his life since he defected from their movement about a year ago, was bombed out of his home in East Elmhurst, Queens, early yesterday.
Did the daughters run out of money? Why not sue the Naton of Islam? Or did they watch the season finale of the Godfather of harlem and figure it was worth a shot to sue deceased Fibbers? Might as well sue Mike Wallace posthumously and CBS while they’re at it:
“MLF: We must remember that the brother who was caught at the scene of the assassination of Malcolm X exonerated the two members of the Harlem Mosque during the trial. When he was asked to name those who were with him in the murder of Malcolm X, he declined to do so. Thus, two brothers who were innocent were sent to prison. Later, Talmadge Hayer revealed to Attorney William Kunstler the names of four or five men from the Newark Mosque who were involved in the assassination.”
