Malcolm X had always been a lightning rod. Some had felt he did the civil rights movement more harm than good. Still others—including leaders of the Nation of Islam—reacted with joy. Three men were found guilty of the murder. But rumours of conspiracy and cover-up still swirl. Who gave the order for Malcolm X's murder? Why did two of the convicted killers insist upon their innocence—even after being released from prison in the 1980s?
