Justice versus conscience

“If you’re not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” Malcolm X

“The media is the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the masses.” Malcolm X

Malcom X is my role model and my favorite activist. The way he turned his life around is incredible!

You can tell in her voice that she is tired. She has been speaking against the murder of her father for over 30 years with no true real convictions. I pray that this family has peace.

MALCOLM X was not just a man… He was a movement. He will live throughout the history as a Voice of Oppressed yelling out for justice. He lives in our blood. We are lucky enough to know about who he was even though the words won’t do justice in describing him as he rose to the level where no common man can get around. Salute to you the great man … Salute to you the voice of millions… salute to you the lantern in the dark….

Disgusting how they assassinated him in front of his children and if U know who did this & kept quiet, you’re just as guilty & disgusting.

The real question isn’t who killed him, but why was he killed. I believe he was killed because certain people feared how much power he had. He had enough power to organize and lead large numbers of Black people. This was a threat to the people who wanted to maintain the status quo.

As a white-looking man with a Native American mother, let me say how much Malcolm X means to me; he is a genius who wanted to recreate his people, to bring strength back to them, to reinvigorate the mind of oppressed men and women… his legacy lives on, in people’s wide and different. Malcolm X lives on and no Judas can silence his power… know that!

She is truly beautiful and intelligent. Her father would be proud

I admired her father ever since I heard him speak on tv as a little girl, I Love him and never met him but my soul did.

Growing up, I remember Malcolm X seemed like a “no-no” topic. They painted him as such a violent person, but now as an adult I see he was very educated and had a very thought out plan for a revolution. Sad to see how my education was compromised because of systematic oppression/racism.

Ask yourself these questions: 1. Who benefits from Malcolm’s assassination? 2. Who has the power to pull it off? 3. Who has the power to cover it up? That’s the starting point.

Malcolm X is the greatest figure in American history hands down

It’s tragic to cut short the life of some one like Malcom who was one of the greatest agents of a peaceful transformation in society.

I think they should definitely reopen the case to get justice for Malcolm X, his family and the community.

The murder of Malcolm X will forever be a stain on this world’s history.

The Netflix”Who killed Malcolm X” was very very very well put together. They did an excellent job! I’ve watched it several times over & will continue to do so. It’s so educational. Shame on the FBI,CIA,NOI,FOI,NYPD. All had a hand on his muder. Long Live Malcolm X & BETTY SHABAZZ.

One of the greatest civil rights activists and will go down in history, rest in power.

God bless her father. He was one of the influential men in my life.

57 never looked so beautiful! She’s incredibly intelligent too, took right after her father!

“democracy is hypocrisy” Malcolm X, Rest In Power, my hero.

People say she looks like her dad, but she’s actually a perfect blend of both parents.

One of the most powerful films I ever watched was a French-language film produced in the late 70s called “I as in Icarus” which was loosely based on the Warren Commission’s investigation of the Kennedy Assassination. In the film, one member of the Commission – brilliantly played by the late Yves Montand – refuses to accept the investigation’s finding that a lone gunman was responsible for the assassination and starts his own independent investigation which results in his own assassination. At the end of the film just before he’s killed, the investigator learns the significance of Icarus in Greek mythology. In the Icarus myth, the sun represents the truth and Icarus flew too close to the sun and his waxed wings melted and he fell to his death. IOW, Icarus got too close to the truth and because of this he was killed. Malcolm X was like Icarus. He got too close to the truth and was murdered.

You can’t separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom. “Malcolm X”

Watched the documentary this week, it was wonderful and so informative.

Thank you DN for this informative and inspiring report. Even now it hurts to hear about the assassination of Malcolm X. . A man beyond his time fighting for the humanity of his sisters and brothers. Yes, this generation gets it and the ones that come after this one will get it also. What an awesome inspiring human being. My condolences to his family.

Great documentary. I cried deeply. As a father, a leader ,and as man.I knew for years the importance of malcolm to us

This was a great segment! I agree, we definitely need to know why he was killed, and who ordered it. Ilyasah looks fabulous!!!!

Best documentary I have seen in many, many years. I love the guy who made it for the love he has for Malcolm X. Totally love how Allah looked after his daughters

Malcolm is the man! Edit: Malcolm is still the man in 2020!!!!

We miss you Malcolm X. Enormous hole in the Black community. No human can fulfill. None. We love you. You are a force. I will shove through my boundaries because of you and the one and only God. Whatever his name is. Still learning the truth. I am just beginning to take in knowledge of our history the past couple of months and how I can cope and go onward. This is so hard to teach myself. Hard not to conform to that which is heavily promoted on my phone and everything past the front door of my home. All I have is the company of my great aunt (to gain wisdom from), King James Bible, some YouTube clips, and prayer. I’m only 20 yet this is so surreal to me. I appreciate you. God sent. God bless your soul, your children, and the all descendants of Israelites.

“We have five seconds…we’re going to have to save it for another time.” NO AMYYY THE TIME IS NOW! I hope you continued the interview and put it up online, let this man finish, please! He’s put so much into this, for all us followers of El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz! Please and thank you <3

This is the best documentary on Malcolm I ever saw. I hope the innocent get cleared and compensated in this case and the guilty face justice.

Justice involved with crimes. Much respect to Mr. X.

The doc series is AMAZING!!! Please reopen the investigation. Mind blowing that people in Newark knew who really killed Malcolm X and allowed two innocent men to be punished for his murder.

I saw this documentary its really indept and informative It will give you a new perspective on his assassination. Thank you for this. REST IN PARADISE MINISTER MALCOLM

The pain and suffering of this family for speaking the truth.

I’ve learned so much from this. This interview was very well done. I commend all of them and the interviewer was amazing also. Malcolm X’s daughter is gorgeous. I’m a Christian, by the way. But I believe innocent is innocent and guilty is guilty, no matter what your religion.

MALCOLM X was an inspirational and powerful man, who was a phenomenal speaker. His speeches were exceptional remarkable. R.I.P X

Ahead of his time; a great and brilliant man!!!

“I AM MALCOLM X” I ask Allah the most kind that our Brother Rest In Peace and to unite him and his family/loved ones in Paradise Ameen

I was enlightened, appalled and after viewing it, depressed. Congratulations to HU Alum, Bro. Abdur-Rahman Muhammad for the great deal of work he put into this and the producer Sis. Shala Harris. Condolences and much love to Sis. IIyasah Shabazz and the entire Shabazz family. Brother El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz aka Malcom X‘s life and legacy will live in our hearts and history forever. Ameen. Amen.

His daughter is awesome and might I add not a day over 30.

Malcolm would be so proud of her!

Ilyasah has a sincerity and intelligence that speaks volumes. A grounded individual.

Malcolm is one of the purest ever!

The tears for Malcolm the tears for Africans the tears for humanity

Great piece, Democracy Now. Thank you for mentioning the names Gil Noble and Tony Brown. I learned so much from those two.

Needed reporting DN!!! Thank-you for shining a light on this, I may never have known otherwise.

Malcolm X is a true legend for us in the near east. He has always been my role model and hero. May God bless his family and his soul in Paradise. The world now needs people like him not just for the black people but for all just causes in this chaotic and unfair world …In the darkest of nights such moon is missed.

RIP, Brother Malcolm.

first i’m so sorry she grew up without her father, second my god she’s a very beautiful woman of 57 years of age.

Love the work y’all do Democracy Now!! One of the best moves I made in 2020 subscribing! Keep up the great work!!

I had the honor of interviewing Atallah Shabazz back in the early 90’s. Wow. Strikingly beautiful and brilliant. I waa nervous but she was kind and welcoming. I’m so glad I met her. Malcom was and still is one of my heroes. We are such a beautiful people.

Malcolm is one of my most beloved heroes. I grew up near where Malcolm was killed, his book Malcolm X was the first book I read when it was first published. This was truly a monumental crime against someone whom I and many many others consider one of the great leaders of the 20th century.

As an Iranian, I love and respect Malcolm X very much, and now I see that what he said was absolutely true. In Iran, we love Malcolm very much …

She should run for public office. This nation owes the family a huge debt.

May Allah grant him paradise.

Woow you guys are so open minded. And such an amazing platform for all messages keep up the great work

It starts with the NOI rift, jealousy, etc…but the tentacles of Malcolm’s death reach all the way to the U.S. government.

Much respect to Malcolm X ,I have listened and learned from his brilliance. You cannot silence Greatness in a person eventually it will Come Out.”

That has to be the most beautiful 57 year old woman ever.

Malcolm X had an (admittedly) bumpy, & semi-deliquent start to his earthly journey. However, he was STILL so intelligent that he became LEGENDARY. Ms. Ilyasah is so beautiful & intelligent.

The docuseries is awesome and well put together, I watched in utter awe

Malcolm X voice & mind was desperately needed in the second half of the 1960s and going forward in the future. It’s hard to even imagine just how much of a loss it was to the rest of the world that he was assassinated so relatively young. I watched the documentary. It’s interesting to ponder but none of it will bring him back

I teach my kids about Malcolm. I loved reading about him as a kid by my older uncles. I’m Mexican and family is half black. Because of malcolm, it led me to sunni Islam. I became Muslim at 16 and one day I won tickets on the radio to a concert because I also loved hip hop. I went to pick up the tickets and was on the elevator with a lady who saw my folder with Arabic on it’s cover. She asked me about it, I said I am Muslim. She exclaimed really? !! There’s Mexican Muslims in San antonio, Texas? I affirmed and smiled. Later found out it was qubillah shabazz. Malcolms daughter. She worked at the radio station. Alhamdulillah what are the odds?

His daughter is very articulate as many of us as Blacks.

I am really looking forward to watching this as as I’m finished Isabel Wilkerson‘s book. It’s been in my queue since it first was released. As a child of the 60s I think the media is distorting him and he was grossly misunderstood and have you been alive today things would’ve progressed further than they have. He was an extraordinary man. May he rest in paradise with all the truth tellers and revolutionaries that were assassinated/murdered for speaking out.

There is no news here. I read the autobiography of Malcolm X many years ago, and I read the ex FBI files on him and King and others. It has taken this long for anyone to do this. I’m not terribly optimistic something will happen

Excellent 6 part series very sad we lost an incredible leader that had so much left to do. He would have led real change on a world platform.

When you talk about manhood testosterone u just Malcolm X the man was just so fearless and unmoved

It’s crazy that she looks like Angela bassist and Angela played the role of her mother.

When MalcolmX died that was the end of blacks in 2020 you see that now, We don’t need a leader we need MalcolmX.

“How long shall they kill our Prophets while we stand aside and look”

Malcolm was an amazing man.

I was 4 yrs old when all this happened, but I love to listen to the stories of his life and what he tried to do, but one day that person did that did this to himwill have to answer to God if he doesn’t repent before his death..God Bless us all. Great video..

Thank you ma’am for your dad. I’m so sorry for your loss. Your dad was the truth

Brother Malcolm X was the very definition of integrity, love, and boldness. Shame on those cowards who killed him. The murder of our beloved brother was an act of terrorism. And those who failed at protecting him are not clean either. They silenced a beautiful human being because they couldn´t stand hearing the truth. Coward terrorists, shame on you…

Thanks for this valuable show. Can’t wait to see the documentary.

Malcolm X is a founding father of an aspirational American ideal that has not yet been realized. A big brother that stood up for justice and said enough. He is an inspiration to me and a prince of this nation.

I want to thank them all for making this film. “The arc of the universe is long and it bends towards justice.” Martin Luther King, Jr.

Malcolms daughter is solid proof that black don’t crack.

I love how this man is not giving up. I wish I can do something , to help . That’s the question!!!!!

Amazing Docu-series the whole thing is now in Netflix! One of the best I have seen in many years,they put this together very well.

Lies have zero effect on karma. Those sell out cowards who shot the great Malcolm X will surely pay the price one by one. Rest in eternal peace my hero.

I’ll bet this documentary doesn’t get the same viewership as Tyler Perry’s A Fall From Grace. Which in and of itself is incredibly sad. I have so little hope for my innumerably lost brothers & sisters

Awesome documentary and I don’t like watching documentaries about his death but Netflix did him justice. They could have went deeper but for those who are born long after they assassinated Malcom X,it’s eye opening.

That Docu-Series was courageous, chilling, and breathtaking. I couldn’t believe just how much the FOI, FBI and NYPD, were all integral to his death, and the coverup that followed. Don’t want to spoil it for anyone, but there’s no question his death should be re-investigated.

Want to get back at Malcolm’s killers? Just continue his struggle.

I am more than pleased to find efforts in this case finally being brought forward. It could be interesting in its revelation!

This documentary answered the many questions I’ve always had about this death.

lovely lady …. and her dad was right on the money about everything he said about the GOV wonder what he would be saying today if he could see whats in the WH?

Thanks so much for sharing. “Justice Delayed is Justice is Denied”. May Almighty God make it easy for everyone investigating brutal murder of brother Shabazz and crown their efforts. May Almighty God grant bereaved family inner peace.

All power to the people! By the ballot and any means necessary! Long life Malcolm X!

Amy Goodman is in a class of her own, such a respectable journalist.

I’m so grateful I attended a historically black school which taught me about the greatness of Malcolm X. There should a day to honor this man. I teach my children about him. They’ll choose your leaders for you. This man was a great leader and his life was cut short by the devil.

When Malcolm X began to organize the Africian American vote he became a threat to the establishment.

Hi everybody here,you should listen to his magical words on the record “no sell out” by Malcolm X. Trully wisdom all over.

I appreciate the content of this video however, I can’t get over this lady being 57! She is stunning.

Not every one forgets. Some remember. More feel.

I as a Hispanic have a lot of respect for this man to the point where I would follow him i he was still alive so much truth he spoke which why a lot Of his enemies were afraid of him long live Malcolm wherever you are you’re words still resonate to this day.

What a great inspiration.. For all man kind.

Malcolm’s daughter is a gorgeous woman.

I have been fortunate enough to write and research the life and times of Malcolm X for twenty five years. For me he was bold, honest, fearless and respectful. Brother Malcolm wasn’t about hate, he wasn’t violent, he wasn’t dishonest and he never a traitor. Brother Malcolm was anti racist, anti injustice, anti inequality and anti oppression. Malcolm was for love, truth, justice and equality.

Man I love brother Malcolm, much respect

Visiting upstate New York where Brother Malik El Shabbazz was rested, I found stones and broad leaves covering his name. I was greatly saddened as I removed them and cleared them. What a man that even in death, he pierces through with his Truth. Peace and much love to his family.

Any scene featuring Malcolm X is, to this day, absolutely electrifying. I guess the scum elites simply could not tolerate this much charisma, intelligence, beauty and humanity in one single man. Especially a black man. Unbelievable and extraordinary figure. The 20th century produced a long list of heroes that emerged out of barbaric oppression – racial, colonial and class-based – to fight for freedom and justice. Brother Malcolm is foremost among them. Will watch this docu series with interest.

Thank you Amy for enlightening me about the great injustice, one of many in this country regarding Malcolm X, a hero to me and to both of my white daughters.

The World lost a giant, an amazing man that day. Not too often do the stars align to produce such courage, honesty and intelligence in one person. Rest in Power Malcolm X – you live on.

He may be dead but, his spirit is definitely in the younger generation and they are going to start roaring j

It upset me how they rudely cut him off at the end of this video just as he was about to comment and expand on the government involvement.

It’s been decades since I’ve read extensively on this. As a result, some of what I’m about to say, I’ll have to paraphrase. Eugene Roberts, the under cover NYPD officer, once said that after being assigned to investigate Malcolm, he initially had very little respect or feelings for Malcolm. It’s my understanding that Roberts had served a stint in the U.S. Navy. During his undercover status, it was learned that he was a martial artist and became a body guard for Malcolm. Roberts said that the time that he spent with Malcolm, he learned to have great respect for him. I recall reading where he said that Farrakhan couldn’t carry Malcolm’s bags —or words to that effect. Possibly Roberts wasn’t called to testify in court because he had gained allegiance for Malcolm and it’s my understanding that he continued his undercover work and was assigned to infiltrate the Black Panther Party. If I recall correctly, the respect that Roberts supposedly had gained for Malcolm caused him to question his status and he started getting in trouble with the police department. I have no idea how it turned out for him. I was in my early twenties when Malcolm was assassinated. He was like a surrogate father for me. More of a half century later, it’s my understanding that at least one person who was responsible for killing Malcolm, held some menial job for the police department. If that’s true, that’s a disgrace to justice. There is no statue of limitation for murder.

The Greatest Hero that loved us and gave his life for Us,love you Brother Malcolm X

Thank you Brother Abdur-Rahman Muhammad for taking this to where it needs to be. You took upon yourself to shoulder what Brother Malcolm X’s family has carried for years on their own and what many of us also carry in our hearts and minds for someone we dearly loved, knowing that the truth had yet to be told. Thank you, we are indebted to you, God asked, ‘Who will go?” Brother Muhammad answered the call, “Send me!” He also has responded to the Spirit of Brother Malcolm, “I’m for truth, no matter who tells it. I’m for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I’m a human being first and foremost, and as such I’m for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.” – Malcolm X. May God bless the continued journey toward justice, surely TRUTH WILL PREVAIL!! Amen.

solid…detailed….definitely….hope that justice for 2 innocent men’s families will be the outcome of this documentary….how many years were lost because they were imprisoned????thank you for posting this Democracy Now…

There needs to be a part two! The interview was too short.

Long live Malcolm X! Long live his contribution to the anticolonial and antiimperialist struggle, that was a game changer and is as relevant at the time of his death. But today we celebrate his birthday! Long live national and social liberation of all peoples! This struggle continues as does the struggle against exploitation and oppression of all people. Down with US imperialism and neocoloniism! In the spirit of Malcolm X ,let us fight the capitalist, imperialist system that has racism, war and oppression in it,like the clouds have the rain!

I gain more insight when I watch Democracy now.

It truly hurt my heart when Malcolm said that, “they are foaming at their mouths.” The hatred is too real.

FBI needs to issue a public apology to the whole world for J Edgar Hoover

We lost so many great leaders in the 1960’s. Nobody knows who shot who. I pray we find justice for the families of all our influential leaders in the 1960’s. We must protect political leaders who can actually make a difference. Malcom needed to bridge the gap between white and black. It is not so easy. God help us. Please come forward to give our families closure! Someone knows something. Life sentences and death penalties keep people from coming forward. I believe only the victims family can forgive a crime such as murder. All murders should have 20 year federal cap with no death penalty. We live with our veterans in peace do we not? I am so thankful for their service. Most of our soilders had their lives on the line. We honor our veterans.

Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King were really black men who understood the meaning of life. African American men have been doing same thing like Africans. Black men are not learning from the past mistakes. Black women are intelligent one.

To be honest I don’t think we will ever find out it would’ve been good to know and their father left a wonderful legacy but sometimes you have to move on

Tupac : Should we cry when the Pope die?? My request, we should cry if they cried when we buried malcolm X

Thank you for shedding more light on us Sisters and Brother, I thank Allah for the media that was open to air this.

I thank everyone worked on this documentary, as an Arab and a muslim Malcom X has always been a respected figure who devoted him self to a cause. This documentary was such a eye opning for me and I can’t wait to get my hands on his autobiography, may Allah has mercy on his soul and grants him for his devotion with Jannah.

She looks so much like her dad!!!

Malcolm X was an incredible activist, orator, and leader.

We need to love our self and live righteous that’s what I just told myself , this is powerful for our people and all people

Thank you Amy and to all your team. Contributing to establish real Justice in this Country.

You ain’t have to find the exact killer just get those around and anyone who financed them. GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION!!!!

We should have MLK X day!!!

I remember going to hear Betty Shabazz speak at McClymonds back in the day. At the end of her speech, she took questions from the audience. When someone asked who killed her husband, she replied, “You need to ask Elijah Muhammed and J. Edgar Hoover.” I’m just sayin’, I heard that with my own ears.

I realize the hardest things one can do, is walk in our past great leaders footsteps, but the easiest thing one can do, is seek out for our own footstep by picking up where they left off. So we can see what’s in front of us, not what we cannot see, but know something went wrong, which by moving forward we can still see because it still in the air as we move seeking a better future. One has to realize justice in the past, are still the same justice in the future, the only thing is different is the mentality of the people, who learn how to accept the new design because it became dressed up like a turkey for thanksgiving. Injustice became a new right because the people had focused on finance, and entertainment, more than community awareness, which help break what the push was about in the past, had throw us off as a people to understand where we supposed to be heading towards as we seek out for our future. Anything had taken place to offset our future, came from our own accord because we had dropped to settle for excitement vs, a future. Which taken us off course to a different movement, where the new movement was like smoking cocaine, a quick fix, only last for a moment, with no foundation. Like they say nothing new under the sun, which we know history shows us for centuries, how the truth never was told, because of the love for a lie, had help us put things to rest. Ignoring what we see today, where a lot of wrong we allowed to happen, which created our situation today, is our own accord. Now the new world allow homeland security, and illegal network security which is all over us as the watch dogs of the country, and we accept it, or let’s say, is now a part of the things they doing to the people, had become a part of how the system functioning today, to be normal. If it’s not homeland security, it’s the illegal social network system security, we became comfortable in helping destroy others lives, we learn to live with proudly. Is hard for me to understand how the masses can call someone else a fool. One must not be conscious of all the acts they doing, and accept like a fool, they call others for not doing.

They may have “killed” his body. But, his hard work payed off. He is still inspiring his soul still lives in SO many. We will meet him again in Paradise, where all his efforts will be rewarded and not in vain. THATS the difference

Malcolm X was so phenomenal and intelligent that I think he would have been an atheist if he lived in this time period… He is one of my most favorite people in history

Peace and blessings to the legacy of brother El Hajj Malik Shabazz. Peace and blessings to his family and his legacy. A true martyr

Blessing’s Yes Yes Yes I Really Hope They Find Out Who Killed Him It’s So Serious an Important to Millions of People’s and His Family Yes Reopen This Case to the World Because it needs to be Done

Ilyaasah is a brilliant lady. Blessed with natural beauty that at 57 she still looked like 35 year old. I think it is heavy for the family of Malcolm to keep on discussing about the death of their father.

Blessing to the family.

My God his daughter is beautiful.

I’ve also followed the Murder case of the late Malcolm X. I had the opportunity to meet his grandson: we stayed on contact until all of a sudden, he stopped inboxing. Later I found out that he was murdered! Being a mother of 5 sons’, I was hurt and trying to understand WHY his death didn’t hit the television network. We had to read about in another Newspaper article.

Say man! Amy Goodman cut the interview once they where getting ready to talk about the government involvement, that was no accident.

I just cry and wonder what could Malcom have become with that degree of brilliance and growing understanding.
