6:02 am
is just too much you might see me. how much can we do simultaneously? multitasking diesel, modern man. because if we do too much, we paid it all wrong. we messed things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage. humans and multitasking. watching our new to v w documentary, if you like, history, but with the side of culture, travel and control the see this one i'm ready to see what the nice thing about gus that will for the wow, that's up i can show every day like every day we encounter so many things that we don't even notice and i just got a straight into the background, but it is still showing a spotlight on them. what you say might just surprise. we're going to dig up that the on the everyday things around. when did they come from? when, why did they have all the time?
6:03 am
i should, we can just search for the day and take them out wherever the america is a trouble. land space with prices have been type of crisis, travel up on top of trouble and problem up on top of the problem. economic problems, political problems, moral problems, and most important of all race from the voice of malcolm x resonates to be in, in america. still grappling with its troubled past to some of the african american leader is an icon. but his life story is not widely noon. 50 years after his assassination. his doctors and name is the lawsuit against the f. b,
6:04 am
i the c i a and the n y p d for their involvement in their father's murder. for years out, sam, we have for, for the truth to come to light concerning his murder us. and we'd like our father to receive the justice that he deserves. they made their goal clear to expose the inner workings of the us government's relentless pursuit of the so called enemy, from within, throughout his life and all from ex group to force in american society. entrenched in racism. to take a hard look at itself. the armed with words alluded to call in america in a battle that cost him his life is legacy raises an important question. how far should a person go to defend the just cause and we want to be recognized and respected as
6:05 am
human being. then we have a model which tells them what, how we intend to bring it about. our motto is by any means necessary by any means by any means. the 1963 was a watershed year in american history. it opened a new chapter for the united states and marked a turning point for malcolm x, the 5. 1963. i think most americans knew that something significant and not easily suppressed was going on. there was the beginning of a struggle to change the nature of this country, make it less of a racist country. and that was a movement that i want to be involved with. when
6:06 am
i went to the march on washington, knock and mex was in washington dc. get the same time, but he's just sitting around talking to reporters and, and criticizing the leaders on the outside problem because he wasn't invited to speak. malcolm x wasn't invited to speak because many considered him to be a thorn in the side of the civil rights movement. his provocative speeches were dismissive about their hopes, right? man, pains, 11 martin luther king subsidizes reverend martin luther king. so the reverend martin luther king can continue to take the negroes. the defense was that's what you mean by non rounding. the defense was the defense. listen, the base of one of the most who piece, but it never taking the people into captivity thus as the american white man. even as martin luther king junior and john f kennedy became national heroes. malcolm x did not shy away from issuing scaling critiques. the 2 men seemed to be on the
6:07 am
verge of advancing the cause of black americans. but malcolm x did not minutes his words. kennedy himself admits negro, put him in office, now he has a time to take a stand against usd leggings, castro gains crew ship again today austin, south vietnam and all these other places all over the world. but when it comes to time to correcting the injustices that are being inflicted against me, girls in this country, kennedy sits up there like nero. he's feeling well birmingham is burning. he checked the people who put him in office. i think for most people like myself who are not followers of malcolm x, he was just kind of a male. 2 2 at 38 and ultimate because a brilliant and kind of magic will return. and he was on the cost of becoming one of the black americas most important leaders. but the 15 years of the taking him to get to this point were full of turbulence and trials of the
6:08 am
in 1948 to malcolm. little as he was known at the time was prisoner number 22843, serving and 8 to 10 year sentence for various crimes, including grand larceny. it was in jail that he encountered the nation of islam. it would change them forever. if you wanted to survive that a prison in the united states in northern cities, you joined the motion and that's what malcolm x is mad. that if i were in jail, thank god i never had to go. i probably would have done the same thing. but after being exposed to the religious teachings of the honorable elijah mohammed immediately didn't spill within me, such a high degree of original pride and racial dignity that i want it to be somebody. and i realized that i couldn't be anybody but begging the white man for what he had,
6:09 am
but that i had to get out here and try and do something for myself. i'll make something out of myself. elijah muhammad became the leader of the religious organization noon, as a nation of islam which recruited mainly from prisons which was strongly associated with anti semitism. is ideology which differed substantially from this one, the court that oxy change malcolm's life and a low attempt to escape his feet as a career criminal. the nation appears where i'm offered a rehabilitation program for lost souls using iron discipline to steer them away from drugs and delinquency. in this way, elijah mohammed built up an army of followers who i'm questioning. we followed his ideology. elijah mohammed preached that the black man was the original human being and the white man, a demon, until black people reigned once again on earth. they had to live a separate existence, the white people. we cannot stop people from eating. we cannot stop
6:10 am
people from disputing with us. we are called peters also. but i say that there's only 2 elijah muhammad, the self proclaimed messenger of allah was in fact, the leader of a sec. no, you should not come became his most assiduous disciples. and very soon his most loyal attendant, elijah rewarded his deputation by entrusting him with the harlem temple in new york . it was a meteoric rise. the spot to a lot of in, elijah, knew that malcolm was an asset. his followers were green and number drawn as much to the mind, explanations ideology by the late 19 fifties only a few years after his release from prison, malcolm x became a spokesman for the nation of islam. the sect was turning into a powerful organization, setting up temples all over the country. the impressive marshal, spirit of its rallies, began to worry white america key role
6:11 am
american muslims are the most powerful of the black supremacist groups. by now, claim a membership of at least a quarter of a 1000000 negroes. the document is being taught in 50 cities across the nation. let no one underestimate the muslims. they have their own parochial schools, like this one in chicago, where a muslim children are taught to hate the white man. they have their own stores, supermarkets, barbara shops, restaurants. here you'll see a progress bar or an air condition muslim department store on chicago's south side . the story of hatred for the white man is counted in many need. roney is papers. here you see their minister, malcolm x proudly displaying 5 of the biggest negro papers in america. such a radical separatist organization was by one to attract the attention of the epi, i in other investigative authorities, one of the bureau is missions was to monitor any activity that might endanger the
6:12 am
united states. in the, the ice view, the nation of islam was the very involved event of a subversive organization. the sure bill is by the f. b, i is a bit of a misnomer. it was the new york city police department, originally, house of treasure. the black buzz laws are joined to new york city police department, january 1, 1953. i joined boss you 1957, a fussy it was an organization that monitored subversive groups in. ready in the american nazi party were you we. busy
6:13 am
signed police officers to work under cover in these organizations, and now we monitor them, read their materials, attended the meeting age mentor with their leaders, and try to figure out where they were up to the new york city police department. busy was there was the servant of the f, b r and they provided them with all kinds of information and materials. and now i got nothing back and returned the bossy, the bureau, special services and investigations. this top secret n y p d unit reported to the f b i. but one thing it had in common with the view was its methods which sometimes crossed into illegality. the stores perfectly obvious that we were never our races, society and the doors of my knowledge deals black. so we are very,
6:14 am
very angry at riley. and i became aware that there was a dangerously subversive element in the black community. i would go to a home and listen to malcolm x spake. i was shocked because we're trying to provide me with the responses to cover that makes you want me turns out to don't. and the prime, the government is responsible for the housing conditions. the government is responsible for the right to find a little closer,
6:15 am
the better when we do the always investigated what they thought were radical or extreme blank groups. and particularly if you had a leader who was arousing black people to protest against the conditions around them. by 1916, malcolm had become a central figure in black communities in the big cities of the north. but it was among the marginalized population in his harlem stronghold, but his speech has had the greatest residence. i moved to harlem, i moved in on a friday night to him, a friend of mine. we got down 216 street and we saw a crowd and we're sure what's
6:16 am
going on and they should mail connex. he's going to speak. and at that time i had kind of, vaguely heard of him and a new a whole lot. i had heard of him and you know, from people talking and cause you literally, you know, he's violated in this kind of that kind of conversation. so i said to my friend, or whether we were, you got to say, so you spoke that day for about 3 hours pages because you wouldn't be the white man, but you're you're not the, the compare your stream with this, you know,
6:17 am
by the time you have finished, i became an immediate supporter, just listening to him speak, you know, he, he talked about things that were going on in the country. he talked about things that were happening internationally. he talked about the psychological aspect of white supremacy. being, you know, dangerous. of course not quite xavier and the physical, but still being very dangerous and what did it done to us or people? and that really fascinated me, cuz i never heard anyone talk about psychological tactics on the mind. he called the malcolm wanted to make black americans fully aware of the extent of the repression. his speeches were no longer mere sermons, that slid imperceptibly into social coventry and inevitably became political. they were about to cross
6:18 am
a red line. in september 1960 fidel struhar with the cuban leader and a new adversary of the united states visited the united nation headquarters in new york. as soon as they arrived, the cubans came under attack in the media. they were accused of assaulting white women and switching chickens, troops in their rooms, their manhattan hotel demanded a $10000.00 deposit defects cuban delegation to find refuge in the heart of harland. the. it was a golden opportunity for, malcolm went to meet fidel castro. here was a chance to demonstrate the nation of islam is influence and challenge washington the according to a source in the f. b. i reports not comic said usually when one sees
6:19 am
a man whom the united states has against there is something good in that man. malcolm x, the black separatist and fidel castro, the communist revolutionary for the f. b i. it was an exclusive combination, especially for f b, i director j. edgar hoover. i'm not upset with the fight against communism during the cold war. hoover stooped paranoia by spreading peers that the communists would use the anger and resentment of white people. to start a revolution on american soil. the red scare, coupled with the black scare, top us officials were afraid not only of what was happening in cuba, but also of the turmoil in africa and asia for anti colonial struggles were shipping the new world. malcolm x knew something else was that state for centuries of oppression gave way to decor, nice ethan and the emergence of the 3rd world. the 1st cracks and white domination were beginning to appear, and it didn't go unnoticed. one of the things that malcolm x understands that
6:20 am
advisor mohammed doesn't really release does and appreciate is the pressure from what was then called the 3rd world. the next begins to see large mohammad as this narrow minded person and may be more concerned about his own power. elijah, mohammed's power was linked to the growth of the nation of islam. the organization had become a veritable financial empire. thanks to a network of businesses in the black communities to preserve it, elijah wanted to keep the nation of islam out of the public eye. but he was well aware that malcolm, who was by now seen as his successor, had political aspirations that could we can him this really i think the large and
6:21 am
100 like the ability to reach like people to oratory. because it brought more people into the nation. but maybe eliza mohammed was also fearful that is now come next became more prominent. all of that, a deputy i attention were devoted to the nation to visit the j edgar hoover begins to believe that if malcolm x took over the nation of islam, he would be a particular for the director of the f. b. i believe malcolm x capable of unifying a protest movement in the north. at the same time, the civil rights movement was attracting greater support from black communities and the side of the for
6:22 am
5 years. leaders like martin luther king junior, had been fighting racial segregation with a strategy of known violence as a result of their pressure integration loss had been passed, but the southern states refused to apply them. spurred on by groups offering massive and open violent resistance in the south there it always been just desire to be separate from the rest of the nation on basically issue of race. and then you have a reaction against any black person who tries to enjoy equal rights, and that was pretty brutal the,
6:23 am
the country was being torn apart as the whole world looked on the solution put forward by the nation of islam run counter to martin luther king junior's desire for integration, so the only solution is separation and the honor over the $91.00. honda said that we can't get alone together in peace on this country where the white people met a separate part of this continent migrate to that separate territory that the government give us everything we need to establish our own independent economic system, mental scientists, and that by we will be able to solve our own problems ourselves and prove that we're a human beings and a part of the human family and can do for ourselves what other humans have done for themselves. and then we'll be able to stop blaming the white man for what he has
6:24 am
done and stop begging the white man to solve our problems will be able to solve our problems ourselves. elijah mohammed pushed his separate test obsession to the point of absurdity. to the point of testing his disciples, space here of the honorable elijah muhammad, which you knew in advance preparation. the we a government itself. what is i mean? what is maybe when it's marie backing up the national god is capable of bringing about integration. we reject
6:25 am
then you don't have that much time. after his speech multiplex launched an appeal for donations to have for the uncomfortable moment. but malcolm never the less greeted the toner. george lincoln rockwell leader of the american nazi party. the
6:26 am
new nancy leader had been invited at the request of elijah mohammed, himself, separation, or death was a program of which the 2 men were incomplete agreement, elijah muhammad would do and a thing to achieve his goal of building a black nation. even embrace on holy union. according to an f b, i report certain coupon officials met with leaders of the nation of islam. one of these nation of islam leaders identified himself as malcolm x of new york. they were interested in land somewhere. so what's the thing, the 8 of the clan to obtain land the ku klux klan. despite his loyalty to elijah mohammed for malcolm x, this was a step too far. you refuse to continue negotiations with a sworn enemies of black people? the group he held responsible for his father's death.
6:27 am
elijah's faithful attendant was beginning to have doubts about his leader strategies. the meanwhile, in the segregated size, martin luther king juniors movement was becoming organized and taking action. in 1963 in birmingham, alabama demonstrators were facing retail police repression. on september 15th, the hardware reach,
6:28 am
new height is key key key terrorist debt to needed a bowman, a church dealing for young girls the the fact that elijah more how many people consider associated with people capable of killing children. we kindled malcolm shame and his doubts about elijah's dark side through malcolm x was was appears, and i mean, he was married. he, um, he didn't play around with other women other than his wife. and evidently there was some scandal in the house of elijah muhammad. whereas there were women who were coming to malcolm x
6:29 am
saying that they had been impregnated in the lumen when malta macs learned that elijah mohammed picked up 6 young women pregnant people shopped, especially as mohammed expressed, new remorse were still allows messenger. he regarded his sexual transgressions as permissible and that was what created the tension. the biggest tension, i think i was the leisure muhammad. then malcolm x, the s p. i was well aware of both elijah muhammad infidelities and model mix is or position to them and saw it as an opportunity. having thus far, being a mere observer, it now opted for direct interference. the fbi, i was prepared to do everything in its power to drive a wedge between the 2 men, even if it meant breaking the law. one report said chicago is
6:30 am
authorized to prepare and mail an anonymous letter to the selected individuals listed on page 3. these lesser should be mailed at staggered intervals, using care to prevent any possibility of tracing the mailing back to the f. b. i not content with sending letters to expose elijah, mohammed's infidelities. the f. b. i also sought to fuel rumors within the nation of islam itself. the aim was to meet and all come acts appear to be the pharmacy for the malcolm, if anything about it. and then they started say that, that, you know, you know, he's, he's, you know, this is coming from malcolm x. they start saying that and, and i don't think for a 2nd longer much to slide for that kind of thing. i think that in the nation of
6:31 am
islam, there were people in the nation to be as well who who, who, who are in full of much edward and working for the f b i i really do. and in new york city police department, there were people in the nation we were doing. so because they were, they would be doing anything to keep the easiest thing between mister mohammed and brother, malcolm going up, the relationship between the 2 men deteriorated, elijah, mohammed's paternal benevolence turned to distrust as malcolm's gratitude gave way to resentment from elijah, mohammed's point of view, i think malcolm x was getting too powerful and some of the older members of the nation of islam were jealous of him. j edgar hoover had achieved his goal of stroking tensions within the nation of islam. the young prodigy whose insulins at always being forgiven was about to
6:32 am
overstep the mark. just as america was in a state of devastation, the nation was in morning about the president. knock them was supposed to not say anything. tell him how come not to say anything. it was something that was probably impossible mountain next, 2nd in command of the black movement express joy of the assassination of president kennedy at him and happened rally last sunday. knock, i'm sorry that the killing of the president was an instance of the chickens coming home to roost. he added and we quote, being an old farm boy, myself. chickens coming home to roost. never make me said they always make me glad . in chicago today, elijah mohammed, the leader of the heavy white muslin movements suspended mathematics and disavowed
6:33 am
his fate. large mohammed use that as a way of telling malcolm stopped drawing attention to yourself. your, your, you become a problem for us just because you went on and on and on. and presumably you was going to be restored at some point. but it wasn't. and then finally it became obvious, he was never going to be restored. awesome. except given his full for the nation of islam for over a decade the era parent and the organization bleak ties. my father was a righteous human be big spelt him from an organization that he built he was in his twenties when he 1st joined this organization. and he built help
6:34 am
build that organization from couple of 100 to tens of thousands, right? and to see that the organization that you're with is not having a political statement. and we understand that a political statement is very necessary. when you see church bombings, you know, little children being killed elders, you know, having dogs sick dominant and no progress, you know, with the institution of education and so forth. so i think being an, an older person and, and being betrayed by an organization with which you were a member of this is all attributed to, you know, his evolution to continue to grow. he continued to transform
6:35 am
although he had paid a high price. welcome dean, something invaluable by leaving the nation of islam. his freedom a freedom that puts him in the hazardous position of being a direct rival to elijah mohammed. malcolm was fiercely criticized within the nation of islam mosques around the country. he was no regarded as a traitor all the more so as it was he and not a lie to mohammed who is at the center of all the media attention and not muslim organization. yes, i mentioned he was a small, tough guy. he knew how to get publicity. busy and he was the face of the black muslims. he was a voice in america when he spoke america, listen malcolm could finally defeat himself to what really interested him
6:36 am
is a proponent black natural was and he wanted african americans to become a real political force. put an achieving his goals, he would come to see diplomacy as a political expedient. so he initiated the rep for him on with a man who strategy. he had always criticized the all the time he met with martin luther king. that was right there with them. malcolm x is, i hope you are right us, but i think we are much stronger. if we stay a part they spoke the same language to each other and they understood each other very well. and they decided that there would be different roles that each would stick to his role. he thought it was better for the white community to see him as the
6:37 am
peace maker and malcolm x stay behind the scenes as the alternative. if you didn't go along with martin luther king, what about your move them to call this a non violent movement? non violent, non brahman is a word this misuse today or we, i would call it a full moon, which reserve the right to defend itself whenever it is a thing in the areas of the country where the government has proven itself unable and unwilling to defend the negroes when they are being brutally and unjustly attacked, spend the negroes in sellers or take whatever steps necessary to defend himself. and the one of the best methods by which this can be done best to establish rifle club, the legal in this country, the owner rifle. malcolm had a way of phrasing things in a confrontation,
6:38 am
no point of view. he never threatened anybody. he never killed anybody. he never even hit anybody. his words were his file of 1964 telegram from j edgar hoover read to me something about them all. come ex, enough of this black silence in new york. the ball comes comments that spurred hoover into action. but while the recent civil rights acts, i didn't see we made all forms of discrimination, illegal. black americans were still being subjected to violence. in 1964 america was sitting on a powder keg ready to explode. when james powell, a black, 15 year old, was killed by
6:39 am
a police officer in harling. the protest quickly turned into riots. the bully held him ryan's actually shouldn't surprise anyone. and sonia an example of why the re passage of the reason civil rights bill in the united states can do actual actually are absolutely nothing to solve the problems that confront our people. that despite the passage of this bill, our people are still the victims of vitality. and most of them are being brutalized by the police. while all this was taking place, malcolm was in the middle east. his brake with a nation of islam had not diminished his deep face, which he sought to invest with new meaning by feeling one of the secret duties of every muslim. and it proved to be a genuine revolution. he visited mecca and he found many muslims of that what happened to be wise and that put
6:40 am
of that put a that made him think that the nation of islam, of the honorable elijah muhammad was not exactly what he was interested in. he wasn't interested because he realized that pleasant wheel is land in the thing i have committed myself to the use to make sweeping indictments of all right. and these generalizations have cause injuries. but some quite good enough is that because of the spiritual rebirth which i was based on the go as a result of the pilgrimage to the holy city of america. i no longer subscribe to sleeping in light of any one re
6:41 am
discovering sunni as was the final step in his transformation. he could not withdraw all lane under the sectarian spirit of the nation of islam and devote himself to his new objectives. but for his former organization, malcolm's conversion to sunni, as one was, he had another slap in the face of the nation of islam. no regarded him not only as a traitor and a liar, but a heretic 2, he had to be eliminated. according to an f. b i report, elijah said the only way to stop him was to get rid of him. the we moses and the others that they're bad ones. elijah said that with these hypocrites, when you find them cut their heads off, the war was declared and things turned ugly. malcolm was all too familiar with the nation of islam as methods, but he was not the kind of man to be easily intimidated. frankly,
6:42 am
i have been well known fact that they absolutely were going to give them where they reading your life. well, finally, because they're afraid that i will tell the real reason that they've been, that i'm out of the black most the most, which i never to except to myself. but the real reason is that elijah mohan, the head of the movement, is the father of 8 children by 6 different teenage girls. so he made a speech and that's page he said, a lot you might have made is fathering children out of wedlock with his secretaries and paying for them with nation original funds. we all know that was that you couldn't do that, elijah more have it ran a very, very tough organization. was very rigid and, and dangerous discipline. we're on of that. so when he said that,
6:43 am
we know the end would be near the malcolm, his wife received the 1st of many, hundreds of anonymous phone calls. the message is very little and always contains death threats. the claimant was becoming increasingly aggressive, but malcolm did not consider his personal safety to be the most important thing. he was a man on a mission. he was putting all his energy into a new, highly ambitious political project that would bring a new dimension to his struggle for the past 10 years. the struggle in america has been confined to what has been projected to the public as a civil rights struggle. and in that context, it has remained a domestic problem. it has remained within the jurisdiction of the united states, and it has, and as such, it has been impossible for the acro americans,
6:44 am
all american negroes to try and list the support of other dark skinned peoples, were being oppressed, the world over, in, in that struggle. and the only way this can be done is by international i think, the problem and putting it at a level where it can be taken into the united nations. and then all of the other independent nations on this can involve themselves, you know, struggling to support us. malcolm's thinking had matured and the new world being shrieked by anti colonial struggles inspired him. he created the movement, the o. e u. the organization for african american unity and settled together support. he sought to take the u. s. government to the united nations for human rights violations. people get deducing himself and being a meeting people as the pit of the organization of apple american unit. he was
6:45 am
trying to form the kind of relationships with african leaders and, and show them why this was why this was so important. malcolm's intuition told him that the american society had to be changed from the outside. but he was playing a dangerous game. his initiative spurred the government into action at all levels outside the united seats, the c i a was charged with keeping them under surveillance. you have to put this into the context of that period. that period between 19551965 almost the height of the so called coal war. and the united states was involved in a ongoing constant propaganda war with russia. and what are the things that they were using, and that is part of the problem was that we are the land of freedom and, and brother mach was getting ready to expose and show no, you're not big. you would have been going on right here in this country. by late
6:46 am
1964 america was caught up in the escalating war in vietnam to win support image on the international stage had to be beyond reproach for the us. malcolm strategy was an embarrassment. you and i are living at a time when there's a revolution going on. a world wide revolution that goes beyond mississippi to go beyond alabama to be on home. there's a world wide revolution going on in this great many power, many interest in this country. you could say a whole lot of very critical things as long as you say here in the united states and that they might watch you and put you into, you know, in the files. but when you started going into national, definitely they get addiction when they started moving. and i am convinced
6:47 am
definitely diego who would fit. although he'd been watching him, and i'm convinced definitely it goes, it just gets got to go the for g edgar hoover. this was the stuff of nightmares. just as martin luther king's non violent movement seemed to be stalling, malcolm's radical rhetoric was attracting increasing numbers of activists. hoover feared the malcolm x might become what he called the black messiah a man to unify the various protest movements and trigger a revolution. culture intelligence program, black nationalist gate groups, prevent the rise of a messiah, who could unify and electrify the militant black nationalist movement
6:48 am
between nation of islam attacks an f. b. i. surveillance. malcolm was under constant pressure to life in danger, from the most part of the life of mohammed screw. well, imagine mohammed has given the order to his followers to see that i am crippled or to win the knights of february 14th 1965, 3 mullets of cocktails were thrown at malcolm's house. the family was asleep, malcolm, his wife and daughters were able to escape the burning house unharmed. the police know the criminal operation of the black most of the moment because they have only infiltrated, we know it was in the rules and protection. were knowing that he would decline it, show we're just sending, correct. i knew where you would never accept protection. never the
6:49 am
balkan knew his days were numbered, but he wanted to settle some scores and put the past behind him. i know for a fact that there is a conspiracy between the muslims and the uh, lincoln, roswell nazi and also the ku klux klan. there is a sincere was made on not necessarily that seriously. the attempt was made upon my mind because i speak my mind and i know too much, and they know that i was the february 21st 1965. when he came to the audubon ballroom, they would, you know, we were having
6:50 am
a rally. and i heard brother malcolm shea, i show, i'm a legal and the next thing i heard was shots. and then when the shooting stuff came out in a minute, and then i ran down to the stage and i will get to the stage and go shopping the malcolm. he and he was gasping the and then the next thing i know the 2 brothers came down with a stretcher and they put him on the stretch cuz they holler columbia university. however, it was right across. i mean, right across the street. but no doctor would come. according to eyewitnesses, several men opened fire
6:51 am
a malcolm. one of the assassins wounded by a body guard was immediately arrested. he was a member of the nation of islam. the n y p. d investigations revealed that the 1st man shot malcolm and the stomach with a sawed off shotgun before other gunman emptied their magazines into him. discharging 21 bullets, investigation into his dash was quick and sloppy. suspicion soon turned to 2 other members of the nation of islam. they were arrested a few days later despite a flood investigation and very little evidence they were convicted of murder. as far as the courts were concerned, the case was closed. the problem is to police the problem and never really, what does it get deeply involved in investigating outcomes, murder, to every person in the room in the order, ball and ballroom, and 1965,
6:52 am
