How long was Malcolm X stalked by the fbi?

Malcolm X was stalked by the FBI for much of his public life, particularly from the late 1950s until his assassination in 1965. The FBI placed him under surveillance as part of its counterintelligence program (COINTELPRO), which aimed to monitor and disrupt civil rights organizations and leaders. This surveillance included wiretaps, infiltration, and the collection of intelligence on his activities and associations. The agency's interest in him intensified as he became a prominent figure in the Civil Rights Movement.
