In a Namibian town, a Canadian company has left a legacy of 300,000 tons of arsenic waste. Many townsfolk are getting sick. And tests show high levels of arsenic in the soil, in the plants -- and the people. Our report:

Malcolm X’s Family Sues CIA, FBI, NYPD Over Roles In His Death

Three of the daughters of the late Malcolm X filed a $100 million lawsuit on Nov. 15, which accuses the FBI, CIA, and the New York Police Department among other groups of playing a role in the assassination of the black revolutionary in Harlem.

According to The Associated Press, the lawsuit, filed in Manhattan federal court, alleges that the named defendants were aware of a plot against their father’s life and did not act to prevent it.

Nicolas Biase, a spokesperson for the Department of Justice, which was also a named defendant in the lawsuit, declined comment.

Civil Rights attorney Benjamin Crump, who filed the lawsuit on behalf of the Estate of Malcolm X, said in a press release that the cover up from multiple organizations spanned decades.

“This cover-up spanned decades, blocking the Shabazz family’s access to the truth and their right to pursue justice,” Crump said. “We are making history by standing here to confront those wrongs and seeking accountability in the courts.”

In a news conference held on the same day as the filing of the lawsuit, Crump stood with members of the Shabazz family and said it was his hope that city and federal officials would read the lawsuit “and learn all the dastardly deeds that were done by their predecessors and try to right these historic wrongs.”

According to the lawsuit, there was a “corrupt, unlawful, and unconstitutional” relationship between various law enforcement agencies and the “ruthless killers” that allowed for the assassination to take place.

In February 2023, the family announced their plans to seek a lawsuit, which they have now made good on.

JoAnna LeFlore-Ejike, executive director of the Malcolm X Memorial Foundation, supported Ilaysha Shabazz and the rest of the Shabazz family via a statement provided to the Nebraska Examiner.

According to LeFlore-Ejike, the Malcolm X Memorial Foundation “fully supports the Shabazz family in their quest for justice and an accurate historical account of Brother Malcolm’s life and his tragic assassination.”

Furthermore, the lawsuit filed by the family argues that the ties between the parties “went unchecked for many years and was actively concealed, condoned, protected, and facilitated by government agents.”

According to Al-Jazeera, Crump also summed up the family’s claim against the agencies at the news conference.

“We believe that they all conspired to assassinate Malcolm X, one of the greatest thought leaders of the 20th century,” Crump said.

He continued, “We are not just making history, but we’re making a path for justice. We believe, a precedent-setting path for justice for those who have been denied justice by the American legal system for far too long.”

The lawsuit follows decades of speculation and a review of the initial investigation ordered by the then-Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance in 2020.

Vance’s review resulted in the acquittals of two of the men who had been convicted of the murder of Malcolm X, Muhammad Aziz and Khalil Islam, after the probe into the investigation unearthed evidence that prosecutors, the NYPD and the FBI withheld that could have cleared them.

The lawsuit also argues that as a result of the uncertainty around Malcolm X’s murder, his family has suffered for decades.

“They (the family) did not know who murdered Malcolm X, why he was murdered, the level of NYPD, FBI and CIA orchestration, the identity of the governmental agents who conspired to ensure his demise, or who fraudulently covered up their role.” The lawsuit continued, “The damage caused to the Shabazz family is unimaginable, immense, and irreparable.”

Today in Labor History August 15, 1906: W.E.B. DuBois demanded equal citizenship rights for African-Americans during the second meeting of the Niagara Movement, saying, "We will not be satisfied to take one jot or little less than our full manhood." Founders of the movement named it for the “mighty current” of change they hoped to achieve. DuBois made his famous statement at Harper’s Ferry, sight of the failed insurrection led by John Brown, in 1859. For a wonderful speculative fiction story based on the premise that John Brown had succeeded in his raid, with the help of Harriet Tubman, read Terry Bisson’s “Fire on the Mountain” (1988).

In addition to cofounding the Niagara Movement, DuBois also cofounded the NAACP. He devoted his life to fighting racism, segregation, Jim Crow and lynchings. DuBois opposed capitalism and blamed it for much of the racism in America. He was also a prolific writer, an anti-nuclear and peace activist, and a proponent of Pan-Africanism.

Today in Labor History August 2, 1997: Musician, socialist, activist and AIDS denier, Fela Kuti, died of AIDS. Fela was a pioneer of Afrobeat, a genre combining West African music with American funk and jazz. He was also an outspoken critic and target of Nigeria's military juntas, which jailed him over 200 times. In 1970, he founded the Kalakuta Republic commune, which declared itself independent from military rule. The government destroyed the commune in a 1978 raid, which killed his mother, a feminist activist in Nigeria. One year later, he married 27 women from the commune in a single day, claiming that the marriage protected them from the stigma of being called prostitutes. He later divorced them, arguing that marriage, as an institution, commodifies women’s bodies. His song "Beast of No Nation" referred to President Buhari as an "animal in a madman's body." Buhari jailed him in 1984. Fela was influenced by the American Black Power movement. He supported Pan-Africanism, socialism and a united, democratic African republic. While his brother, who was the country’s health minister in the early 1990s, was working to bring AIDS under control in the country, Fela was calling condoms a plot to reduce the African population, and AIDS a fabrication of the medical industry, including his brother. His son tried to explain Fela’s AIDS-denial as a reaction to colonialism, and the UN’s poorly articulated anti-AIDS programs of the era. The final song he recorded was "Condom Scallywag and Scatter."

Today In Labor History June 29, 1941: Stokely Carmichael (1941-1998), founder of the U.S. civil rights group the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) was born in Port of Spain, Trinidad. He was a key figure in the Black Power movement, becoming honorary Prime Minister of the Black Panther Party and, later, as the leader of the All-African People’s Revolutionary Party. The FBI attempted to destroy him through COINTELLPRO, and succeeded in convincing Huey Newton that he was a CIA agent. This, and the Panthers’ embracing of white activists into their movement, led him to distance himself from the Panthers. In 1968, he married the famous South African singer Miriam Makeba and moved to Africa, changing his name to Kwame Ture and campaigning internationally for revolutionary socialist pan-Africanism.

Stokely Carmichael, right, organizing local people for the Lowndes County Freedom Organization (LCFO) in 1966. His flyer features the original LCFO black panther logo. By Unknown author - Encyclopedia of Alabama, CC0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=66872713
