17:04Now PlayingThe family of the late Civil Rights leader, Malcolm X, calls for the NYPD to reopen his assassination investigation due to new evidence in his case. A letter written by a former undercover NYPD officer Ray Woods, on his death indicates that the NYPD and the FBI conspired to infiltrate many human rights organizations. Woods claims that he was tasked with ensuring that members of Malcolm X’s security would be arrested days before his fatal shooting in Manhattan. BNC explores possible options for the Shabazz family and possible next steps in the investigation.
BNC Chief Legal Correspondent, Dr. Laura McNeal, explains the possibility for federal and civil recourse if information alleged in Woods’ letter can be confirmed as true, proving the NYPD and FBI conspired against many civil rights leaders.
Rodnell Collins, the nephew of Malcolm X, also shares his family’s perspective prior to the assassination. Collins outlines what the family knew beforehand and issues between Malcolm and the Nation of Islam.
With the revelation of this letter, the hope is that those with the NYPD and others involved will be held accountable for Malcolm X's death after over 50 years of searching.
