Who Wrote the Autobiography of Malcolm X
Although Malcolm X's friends, his family memers, reporters and biographers all question the accuracy of "The Autobiography of Malcolm X," they all claim or assume that Malcolm X wrote it (allongside his collaborator Alex Haley).

They spurred Haley to eliminate African American Vernacular English. Afraid of being sued for libel, they dispatched drafted chapters to lawyers at a prestigious firm, whose attorneys persuaded Haley to scrub dozens of passages that they deemed too inflammatory.

The suit, brought by his estate and three of his daughters, claims that the FBI, CIA, and New York Police Department were aware of and involved in the assassination plot and “failed to intervene on his behalf.”
The lawsuit accuses the agencies of intentionally arresting Malcom X’s security detail days before he was shot and removing their undercover officers from the inside the New York City ballroom where he was killed. It further alleges they concealed evidence and information about his death from the family and the public. “It has taken us a long time to get to this point,” Ilyasah Shabazz, Malcolm X’s daughter, said during a press conference the day the lawsuit was filed in Manhattan court.
While three members of the Nation of Islam were convicted and sentenced to life in prison for murdering the year-old activist, two of the men—Muhammad Aziz and the late Khalil Islam—were exonerated in after spending 20 years behind bars. The third, Thomas Hagan, admitted his guilt and later testified Aziz and Islam weren’t involve
