Activists in the U.S. and Mexico are still pushing for the truth about the death of the grandson of Malcolm X who was killed south of the U.S. border.

Rev. Ed Pinkney, a member of the U.S.-based Malcolm Shabazz Committee for Truth and Justice Movement, plans to keep the pressure on.

“My goal is to get the truth in front of the American people, and to let them know how serious this issue is,” Rev. Pinkney told The Final Call. “We want to get people across the nation involved in calling for an investigation into the death of Malcolm Latif Shabazz,” said the founder of the Michigan-based Black Autonomy Network Community Organization. Rev. Pinkney participated in protests at the Mexican embassy in Washington, D.C., and the Mexican consulate in Chicago. The most recent protest was on Sept. 6.

The U.S. committee is working to hold weekly Friday demonstrations until Mexican authorities hold a complete investigation into young Malcolm’s brutal murder, Dr. Randy Short, who is also part of the U.S. committee, told The Final Call. Activists have also started a petition drive demanding that the U.S. State Dept. investigate the murder.
