Nearly 60 years after Malcolm X was shot and killed while speaking at the Audubon Ballroom in New York City, there are still more questions than answers about the circumstances of the civil rights leader’s death, which has been the subject of controversy, conspiracy theories, and well-founded skepticism alike. In this episode, we explore some of these narratives and uncover the power of visual documentation in revealing truths about injustices. We also examine the parallels between the enduring legacy (and demise) of Malcolm X and widely beloved rapper and community activist, Nipsey Hussle, setting the tone for the next season of the Second Draft Project where we hope to answer some of the questions that cast a long shadow over his death. Be sure to join us on our quest for truth!
