Malikah Shabazz († 56) – Malcolm X daughter found dead in New York – News abroad

New YorkMalikah Shabazz, one of the six daughters of the murdered civil rights leader Malcolm X, is dead.

Shabazz was 56 years old. She was found Monday at her home in Brooklyn, New York, a police spokesman said. Her death was natural.

Malikah and her twin sister Malaak are the youngest daughters of Malcolm X. The girls never met their father: their mother, Betty Shabazz, was pregnant with them when Malcolm X was murdered on February 21, 1965 at the age of 39.

Just days before Shabazz’s death, there was another decisive event in the life of the civil rights activist’s family: two of the three men convicted of the murder of Malcolm X were acquitted.
