A Conspiracy of Silence - Malcolm X
On February 21, 1965, civil rights leader Malcolm X was assassinated while giving a speech in New York City. While three men were convicted of the murder, the case has been shrouded in mystery for decades. In this episode, we explore the life of Malcolm X, from his early years as Malcolm Little to his rise as a prominent and controversial voice in the Nation of Islam. We then dive into the events leading up to his death, including the growing tensions within the Nation of Islam, the death threats, and the multiple law enforcement agencies keeping him under surveillance.
