New York City has agreed to settle lawsuits filed by two men who were exonerated in the assassination of Malcolm X last year.

filed by two men who were exonerated in the assassination of Malcolm X last year. The city will pay $26 million for the wrongful convictions of Muhammad Aziz and Khalil Islam, who spent decades in prison following their convictions for the 1965 slaying.

Shanies said over the next few weeks the settlement documents will be signed and the New York court that handles probate matters will have to approve the settlement for Islam's estate. The total $36 million will be divided equally between Aziz and the estate of Islam. Malcolm X gained national prominence as the voice of the Nation of Islam, exhorting Black people to claim their civil rights"by any means necessary." His autobiography, written with Alex Haley, remains a classic work of modern American literature.
