We believe that they all conspired to assassinate Malcolm X, one of the greatest thought leaders of the 20th century, Ben Crump, a civil rights attorney who is representing the family, said at a press conference.
This cover up spanned decades, blocking the Shabazz family's access to the truth and their right to pursue justice, said Crump in a statement.
The wrongful death lawsuit was announced at a memorial center on the site in New York City where Malcolm X was killed in 1965. It seeks to answer questions surrounding the assassination, and paint an accurate history of the events, Crump said.
Speculation that the government may have been aware of the assassination plan and allowed it to happen has persisted for decades.
