Malcolm X Murderer Soon To Be Released

On February 21, 1965 the African-American community lost a major human rights activist. A courageous man who voiced his opinion wherever he went in hopes of bringing about change, Malcolm X played a key role in the Civil Rights Movement during the 1960's in New York City. While delivering a speech, his life was ended abruptly with the firing of 16 shots; this moment stands still in African-American history today. 45 years later, the only man who admitted his involvement in Malcolm X's death is being released from prison. Thomas Hagan was granted parole on March 3rd and is scheduled to be released on April 28, 2010.
