A master teacher remembered
ROGER McKENZIE looks back 60 years to the assassination of Malcolm X, whose message that black people have worth resonated so strongly with him growing up in Walsall in the 1980s

TOMORROW, February 21, marks the 60th anniversary since the murder of Malcolm X.

The fact that his three daughters were forced to launch a $100 million (around £80m) legal case against the CIA, FBI and the New York Police Department is a reminder that there is unfinished business relating to the killing.

The case alleges that the agencies mentioned, and others, were involved in the murder plot and did nothing to stop the killing of this unparalleled fighter for black rights.
