On Tuesday, civil rights attorney Ben Crump was joined by members of Malcolm’s family at the Shabazz Educational Center in Washington Heights. Crump alleges that the agencies named “had factual evidence and exculpatory evidence that they fraudulently concealed from the men who were wrongfully convicted for the assassination of Malcolm X.”
“Many things that will be put forth in our lawsuit that speaks to this factual evidence. We believe that now it could be substantiated based on the recent exonerations of those who were wrongfully convicted.”
“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?”
