A daughter of Malcolm X, the well-known militant who championed the cause of the blacks and was shot dead in 1965, has been found dead in her New York home. According to preliminary elements, 56-year-old Malikah Shabazz died of natural causes, New York police said.

The woman’s daughter had found her mother in her Brooklyn home and then notified the police. Shabazz was one of six daughters of Malcolm X. Her twin sister Malaak died shortly after her father’s death in 1965.
Malcolm X was spokesman for the Nation of Islam. He was murdered on February 21, 1965 when he was just starting a speech in New York.
Last week, a New York judge exonerated two African Americans convicted of the murder more than 50 years ago. The two had always maintained their innocence.
