Of course the FBI would do anything to prohibit Malcolm's attendance. We wouldn't wont any foreign alliances to sprout up now, would we?
Malcolm Lateef Shabaz made headlines as a defiant 12 year old who in 1997 set his grandmother's home ablaze as an act of rebellion. The adolescent later made this statement to the New York Times:
After an argument with his mother, Quibilah Shabazz (Malcolm X's daughter) sent her son to live with his grandmother. In an attempt to return home, 12 year old Malcolm Lateef Shabazz explained to the New York Times, 'I set a fire in the hallway, and didn't think the whole thing through thoroughly, but she didn't have to run through that fire. There was another way out of the house from her room. I guess what she thought was I was stuck and she had to run and get me because it was in front of my room as well. She ran through the fire. I did not picture that happening, that she would do that.' Little Malcolm Shabazz told the New York Times.
Malcom Lateef Shabazz served 4 years in a juvenile prison facility and was released in 2001. He now attends the John Jay College of Criminal Justice and is writing his memoirs.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation refuses to release any information on Malcolm Lateef Shabazz. Should we be surprised?
