Malcolm X Is Assassinated (1965)

Published: Feb. 22, 2024, 9:30 a.m.

It\u2019s February 22nd. This day (February 21st, in fact) in 1965, Malcolm X is assassinated as he\u2019s giving a speech at a Harlem ballroom.

\n\n

Jody, NIki, and Kellie discuss why X felt as if his killing was almost an inevitability, why the details of that day remain murky \u2014 and how two of the accused were exonerated decades later.
