Charismatic, controversial, and uncompromising, Malcolm X became one of the most powerful voices in the American civil rights movement. But on a cold February evening in 1965, as he stood before a crowd in New York, that voice was silenced in a hail of gunfire. In this episode, we explore the life, legacy, and lingering questions behind the assassination of Malcolm X.
