Malcolm X’s Daughter Ilyasah Shabazz on Her Father’s Legacy & the New Series “Who Killed Malcolm X?”

Fifty-five years ago today, Malcolm X was assassinated. The civil rights leader was shot to death on February 21, 1965, at the Audubon Ballroom in New York City. He was only 39 years old. Details of his assassination remain disputed to this day. Earlier this month, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance said he was considering reopening the investigation, just days after a new documentary series about the assassination was released on Netflix called “Who Killed Malcolm X?” It makes the case that two of the three men who were convicted for Malcolm X’s murder are actually innocent and that his uncaught killers were four members of a Nation of Islam mosque in Newark, New Jersey. We are joined by Ilyasah Shabazz, one of six daughters of Malcolm X, who was just 2 years old when her father was assassinated in front of her, her siblings and her mother. We also speak with award-winning author Abdur-Rahman Muhammad, independent scholar, historian, journalist, writer and activist, who is widely regarded as one of the most respected authorities on the life and legacy of Malcolm X and is featured in the new documentary series, and Shayla Harris, a producer for the series and an award-winning filmmaker and journalist.

Out of curiosity, how does the black Christian community sees Malcolm X? MLK seems to be canonized and Malcolm seems to be a footnote sometimes. I'm not American, so from where I am, it seems like the discussion about the civil rights movement is centered around the Dixie South and not the North, like NYC, where integration was happening in name only.

Hard not to conform to that which is heavily promoted on my phone and everything past the front door of my home. All I have is the company of my great aunt (to gain wisdom from), King James Bible, some KZbin clips, and prayer. I’m only 20 yet this is so surreal to me. I appreciate you. God sent.

[@dolphineachonga555]

I remember whole chapters dedicated to him in my school's history books. He was great for the Pan-Africanist movement and the last who fiercely advocated for world wide black unity. He always had such positive things to say about Africa. He believed us more than we ever could believe in ourselves. I remember my teacher telling us that this was the greatest loss to the Pan-African movement and that it would wither away after his death. And it did.

[@justdinnerbyharrice942]

I’m happy to know that you actually read chapters about Brother Malcolm. In the U.S. South, we only were exposed to a paragraph. All I learned about Brother Malcolm was that he was a radical who hated white people and encouraged Black people to inflict violence against them. This paragraph was always in contrast to Martin Luther (Michael) King’s stance of nonviolence. It wasn’t until recently that I began to hear and research this brilliant, brave man that I realize he was the ULTIMATE patriot.

Malcolm was for love, truth, justice and equality.

@Walter Wicca - Real black leaders like Malcolm X / others the USA/European country governments have had assassinated never merely alone needed nor only wanted just supporters. They absolutely needed truly brave and diligently committed supporters to fast and fearlessly become active leaders able to skillfully command brigades of warrior soldiers/not to just merely alone not be supporters. Malcolm needed hundreds of thousands of AA supporters to become fearless, smart, skilled,/formidable/reliable leaders! Where were Malcolm X's supporters when his home was bombed? Where were they when his life was being threatened? Where were his loving/protective supporters that February 21st evening at the Audubon Ballroom? Where were all the black race public "ride or die" black, brave, fearless, supportive, active defensive,/protective hordes of leaders to surround ensuring the safety of not only Malcolm X but also Marcus Garvey; the young Fred Hampton/ the other original Black Panthers; Khalid Muhammad; MLK Jr.; Medgar Evans; Maurice Bishop; Patrice Lumumba; Steven Sankofa, Nelson Mandela, Steve Biko; Steve Cokely; Walter Rodney; and hundreds of others?

One of the most powerful films I ever watched was a French-language film produced in the late 70s called "I as in Icarus" which was loosely based on the Warren Commission's investigation of the Kennedy Assassination. In the film, one member of the Commission - brilliantly played by the late Yves Montand - refuses to accept the investigation's finding that a lone gunman was responsible for the assassination and starts his own independent investigation which results in his own assassination. At the end of the film just before he's killed, the investigator learns the significance of Icarus in Greek mythology. In the Icarus myth, the sun represents the truth and Icarus flew too close to the sun and his waxed wings melted and he fell to his death. IOW, Icarus got too close to the truth and because of this he was killed. Malcolm X was like Icarus. He got too close to the truth and was murdered.
