The family of an elderly man have paid tribute to him after he died following a collision.
Did a Black undercover NYPD cop unwittingly aid Malcolm X s assassination?
By The Washington Post
By Sydney Trent
On Feb. 20, Reginald Wood Jr., a bespectacled, balding man in a dark suit and striped tie, walked across the wooden stage to the podium at the Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center in Manhattan.
The place and timing were weighty with symbolism. The centre had been built on the former site of the Audubon Ballroom, where Malcolm X was assassinated 56 years ago that very weekend. Wood was also speaking on the eve of the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in the killing of George Floyd last May. A heightened suspicion of law enforcement swirled in the air, just as it did after Malcolm was murdered.

In the letter he admits he was part of a conspiracy targeting Malcolm.
The letter was presented at a news conference in New York on February 20, by Malcolm’s three daughters and civil rights attorney Ben Crump. Wood’s cousin Reggie joined them in revealing the letter’s contents.
The announcement was made at the Malcolm and Dr Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center, on the former site of the Audubon Ballroom, where Malcolm was assassinated.
Posthumous confession
Wood’s 2011 letter, which he gave to his cousin for release after his death, said he had been compelled by his supervisors at the NYPD to coax two members of Malcolm s security team into committing crimes, leading to their arrest just a few days before the assassination.
