Episode Synopsis

Were the official stories just the surface?In Part II of the American Conspiracies series, we dive into the chilling parallels between the assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. As a veteran social studies educator, I examine the theories that have persisted for over sixty years—from the 1999 civil jury verdict that found government agencies "deeply involved" in the MLK plot, to the 2021 exoneration of men wrongfully convicted in the death of Malcolm X.We discuss the role of the FBI's COINTELPRO, the credibility of "lone assassin" narratives, and the significance of the 2025 declassification orders that are finally shedding light on these cold cases. Was the Nation of Islam the only force at play in Harlem? Was James Earl Ray truly alone in Memphis? Join me for a serious, evidence-based exploration of the events that silenced two of the most powerful voices in American history.***Photo courtesy: The New York TimesReferences:The Enduring Mystery of Malcolm X's Assassination   Time.comWho Really Killed Malcolm X?   NYTimes.comThe Assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.   Biography.comWho killed Martin Luther King, Jr.?
