Malcolm X Killers Were Never Served Justice

Have a question? Agree, disagree,
with me? Leave me your opinion.

Malcolm X was gunned down in New
York 46 years ago, but mystery
surrounded the details of his
death. "And his killers were
never served justice," Zaheer
Ali, Marable's chief researcher.

"Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention,"
the new book by Columbia University
professor Manning Marable, explains
why the investigation should be
reopened.

On Feb. 21, 1965, Malcolm X was
speaking to several hundred people
at the Audubon Ballroom in upper
Manhattan when three men stood up
in the front rows and opened fire.

"As Marable's quite powerful book
details, four of the actual assassins
never were pursued and at least one
of them still lives openly in the
metro New York area," David Garrow,
historian and author.

The book asserts that the New York
Police Department knew Malcolm X's
life was in danger but looked away.
