We speak with independent researcher Abdur-Rahman Muhammad, whose work is featured in the Netflix documentary “Who Killed Malcolm X?” and helped ignite widespread public support for two men falsely convicted of assassinating the civil rights activist in 1965. Muhammad was in the court room this week a judge exonerated 83-year-old Muhammad Aziz and the late Khalil Islam due to revelations uncovered by the Manhattan District Attorney’s office and the Innocence Project that key evidence was withheld at the trial. Aziz has maintained his innocence, and addressed the court after he finally received an official apology, saying his false conviction was “the result of a process that was corrupt to its core.” Muhammad says being in the courtroom was “surreal.” “To watch the government admit that these brothers were sent to prison for a crime they didn’t commit was stunning.”
The white man is not inherently evil, but the racist society in America has influenced him to do evil. Society has produced and nurtured a psychology that brings out the lowest, most basaole part of man.
Malcolm X was a prominent civil rights activist and leader in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s. Here are some key points about his life and work:
Malcolm X was born Malcolm Little in 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska. His father was a Baptist minister who was an outspoken advocate for black self-determination, and his mother was a homemaker.
Malcolm’s family faced racism and violence, and when he was six years old, his father was murdered by white supremacists. His mother was later institutionalized, and Malcolm was sent to live with various foster families.
As a young man, Malcolm became involved in criminal activity and was sentenced to prison for burglary. While in prison, he became a follower of the Nation of Islam, a black nationalist and separatist religious movement.
After his release from prison in 1952, Malcolm became a prominent spokesperson for the Nation of Islam, advocating for black self-determination and denouncing white supremacy and racism. He changed his last name to X to symbolize his lost African heritage.
Malcolm’s fiery speeches and uncompromising stance on racial justice made him a polarizing figure. He criticized other civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and advocated for black self-defense against white violence.
In 1964, Malcolm left the Nation of Islam and formed his own organization, the Organization of Afro-American Unity. He traveled extensively and met with leaders of various African nations to promote black unity and solidarity.
Malcolm’s outspoken views and activism made him a target of government surveillance and harassment. He was assassinated in 1965 while giving a speech in New York City, likely by members of the Nation of Islam who disagreed with his split from the organization.
Malcolm X’s legacy as a civil rights leader and advocate for black self-determination continues to inspire people today. His speeches and writings, including his autobiography, remain important works in the history of the struggle for racial justice in the United States.
Who Killed Malcolm X? New York to Pay $36 Million for Two Men Wrongfully Jailed For 1965 Murder
Back to menu IMPORTANT CONTENT
The city and state of New York have agreed to pay $36 million to settle lawsuits on behalf of two men wrongly convicted and imprisoned for decades for the 1965 assassination of Malcolm X. Muhammad Aziz and Khalil Islam were exonerated last year for the murder after investigators found “serious miscarriages of justice” in the case. They each spent more than 20 years in prison for a crime they did not commit, and Islam died in 2009 before his record was cleared. We speak to civil rights lawyer David Shanies, who represented the men in their lawsuit, and scholar Abdur-Rahman Muhammad, who helped spark the reopening of the case, and was featured in the 2020 Netflix documentary series “Who Killed Malcolm X?”
