Malcolm X Documentary Prompts
Re-Examination of Murder Case Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance's
office announced it will revisit the case
involving Malcolm X's assassination. The announcement follows buzz around the six-part
Netflix documentary series, 'Who Killed Malcolm X?' The series calls into question the
theories surrounding the 1965 murder
of the famed civil rights leader. Specifically, the series investigates
the convictions of the three men charged
with X's murder at the Audobon Ballroom. Two of the three men convicted,
Muhammad Abdul Aziz and Khalil Islam,
have continually maintained their innocence. The non-profit organization known as
The Innocence Project is now working with civil
rights attorneys as well as the Manhattan DA. Their goal is to use new information to shed
light on the facts of the case and clear
the names of the wrongly convicted.
