For more than half a century, scholars have maintained that prosecutors convicted the wrong men in the assassination of Malcolm X.
Now, 55 years after that bloody afternoon in February 1965, the Manhattan district attorney’s office is reviewing whether to reinvestigate the murder.
Some new evidence comes from a six-part documentary called “Who Killed Malcolm X?,” streaming on Netflix Feb. 7, which posits that two of the men convicted could not have been at the scene that day.
Instead it points the finger at four members of a Nation of Islam mosque in Newark, N.J., depicting their involvement as an open secret in their city. One even appeared in a 2010 campaign ad for then-Newark mayor Cory Booker.
“What got us hooked,” said Rachel Dretzin, a director of the documentary along with Phil Bertelsen, “was the notion that the likely shotgun assassin of Malcolm X was living in plain sight in Newark, and that many people knew of his involvement, and he was uninvestigated, unprosecuted, unquestioned.”

Apparently everyone knows who really killed MX (according to Netflix) and one of the alleged killers did a campaign ad for Cory Booker.
Calypso Louie.
My understanding was the Malcolm had come to realize the truth and was killed by the Muslims.
First in with:
Malcolm X did not kill himself!
Farakhan all but admits it in a video. He couches what he says he did and circles around it, but it is about as close to an admission as one can get.
Cory Booker was -4 at the time.
A 45 and a shotgun did it in today's democrat gun control parlance.
No one is insinuating that Cory did it. Just that one of the people that did do it appeared in a commercial supporting him. In addition it states that it is supposedly a well known "secret" that this person took part in the murder of Malcolm X. Therefore the implication, while not directly stated, is that Cory had to have known that he had participated in Malcolm X's murder.

Yes but Booker used one of the alleged murderers in a campaign ad; and everyone knows he’s one of the murderers as would have Cory Booker.
Who really cares?
Just another dead ex con. Nobody cares 55 years later.
First in with, WHO CARES?
Malcolm X?
How did I miss the first 9 Malcolms?
It's not like they're busy doing anything else.
X marks the spot...
(too soon?)
Perhaps his son cares.
I remember #5, because he was in the middle
“Perhaps his son cares.”
Doubtful. His son Malcolm Shabazz, when he was 12 years old, set fire to the apartment of his grandmother, Betty Shabazz, causing her death.
