It has been more than six decades since legendary civil rights activist and revolutionary Malcolm X was assassinated and now his family is suing the NYPD.

Malcolm X's family accuses the NYPD and federal agencies of "facilitating" the civil rights leader's 1965 assassination in a new lawsuit.

The family of Malcolm X filed a $100 million lawsuit Friday that accuses multiple federal and state law enforcement agencies of playing a role in the murder of the human rights leader nearly 60 years ago.
