Episode notes

The man alleged to have carried the shotgun, a kalil islam, looks nothing like the real shotgun assassin. Malcolm ex was not afraid to re examine his positions and to correct his positions when he felt that he was wrong. He spoke to the affairs of the world in a way that made him ahead of his time.

Nearly 60 years after the assassination of Malcolm X, some of the men wrongly put in prison for killing him are finally being redeemed. Abdur-Rahman Muhammad, from the documentary series "Who Killed Malcolm X?", explains whether the true killers will ever be brought to justice.

Today’s show was produced by Hady Mawajdeh, edited by Matt Collette, engineered by Paul Mounsey, fact-checked by Haleema Shah and Laura Bullard, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
