Black Agenda Radio · Shabazz Family Lawsuit Against the FBI and NYPD

The investigation of the 1965 assassination of El Hajj Malik El Shabazz, Malcolm X, was compromised by the NYPD and the FBI from the very beginning by informants, coverups, false testimony, and the conviction of innocent men who were exonerated years later. We are joined by attorney Flint Taylor, of the Peoples Law Office. His firm is among those representing the Shabazz family in seeking to uncover the truth of the assassination, including the possibility of law enforcement involvement in the lawsuit Shabazz vs U.S. Flint Taylor joins us from Chicago.
