Malcolm X's daughter Malikah Shabazz was put in jail yesterday in Queens, NY after a judge said she didn't pay back the elderly woman she ripped off.

According to The NY Daily News, Shabazz failed to make any of the monthly $1,229 restitution payments she agreed to as part of a plea deal.

Queens District Attorney Richard Brown previously stated, 

"The defendant, who preyed upon the trusting nature of a once-close family friend, has admitted her guilt in committing a serious felony offense and will be ordered to make her victims financially whole." s

The 46-year-old is  also  still in the middle of a dispute with her five sisters over her parents' $1.4 million estate.

Malcolm X's youngest daughter pleaded guilty to running up credit card bills adding up to $55,000 on a card stolen from a widow of one of her father's bodyguards. Malikah Shabazz has had quite a few run-ins with the law and will be sentenced to five years probation as long as she gives back the money.

"The defendant, who preyed upon the trusting nature of a once-close family friend, has admitted her guilt in committing a serious felony offense and will be ordered to make her victims financially whole," said Queens District Attorney Richard Brown.

The 46-year-old is still being held until July 28th on a $100,000 bond. Shabazz is still in the middle of a dispute with her five sisters over her parents' $1.4 million estate.

On Sunday, February 21^st 1965 – as many as 6 armed assassins ambushed Brother El Hajj Malik El Shabazz after he was introduced by Brother Benjamin at The Audubon Ballroom [3940 Broadway & 165^th St.] that afternoon, when he stepped to the podium and greeted the audience – “As-salaam-alaikum!”

After getting stretched on his back, upon the stage – execution style - the cold-blooded murderers continued to pump multiple rounds of hot rocks into his prone body in full-view of the shocked spectators – including his pregnant wife Betty and their 4 young daughters in the front-row.

Although 2 suspects were initially apprehended at the scene by uniformed cops right after the killing occurred, only Thomas Hagan's - a.k.a. Talmadge Hayer – identity was made public by police at the time.  Hagan was stopped after… being shot in the right leg by one of Shabazz' bodyguards, and then pounded nearly to death by the angry mob prior to being in custody.

“I thought it was very bad for anyone to go against the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, then known as the Last Messenger of God.  I was told that Muslims should more or less be willing to fight against hypocrites, and I agreed with that.  There was no money paid to me for my part in this.  I thought I was fighting for truth & right,” later confessed Hagan.

Norman 3X Butler and Thomas 15X Johnson were collared a few days later, and all 3 men were eventually convicted and hit with 25 years-to-life bids for the brazen daytime murder of the man formerly known as Malcolm X. Nothing was ever heard publicly about the second suspect.  Hagan recently completed his parole obligations and is currently living in the free world.

Throughout the entire trial and ensuing sentences, Hagan always maintained Butler's and Johnson's innocence - a fact which was also confirmed by Shabazz' Lieutenant – Cheikh Omar Ahmed – who was present at the Ballroom the Sunday Shabazz was slain.

“They [Butler & Johnson] were from the same Temple as us [previously], and had they been in the Audubon that day and  we would've noticed them,” he once clarified.  “There were actually 6 assassins that day, not 3!”

Brother Suiliman, one of Malcolm's bodyguards who was also present at the Ballroom that day agreed.  “That is correct.”

Master educator Dr. John Henrik Clarke's assessed on the assassination is…

“When he internationalized the problem, by raising it from the level of civil rights to that of human rights and by linking up with Afrika, Malcolm X threw himself into the cross-fire of that invisible, international cartel of power and finance which deposes presidents and prime ministers, dissolves parliaments, if they refuse to do their bidding.  It was this force, I believe, that killed Malcolm X, that killed Lumumba, that killed Hammarskjold.”

After sitting dormant for decades, the building was eventually renovated, renamed the ‘Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Educational & Research Center' and reopened on May 19^th 2005 – the 80^th anniversary of Malcolm's physical birth.  It houses some of the Black Nationalists' personal artifacts, such as books, letters in his own handwriting and TV monitors displaying video footage of some of his speeches.

This past Monday, a few hundred or so concerned community members filed into the landmark building to listen to recollections of the legendary Black Nationalist by some of his admirers, comrades and relatives.

The opening of the seminar commemorating the 46^th anniversary of the execution of El Hajj Malik El Shabazz – at the very same location where it occurred - began with screenings of some of his lectures, followed by spoken word presentations by 2 youth, then words from a few admirers, colleagues and 2 of his daughters with Betty Shabazz – Malaak and Ilyasah Shabazz.

Imam Talib Abdur Rashid spoke about El Hajj Malik El Shabazz' religious and spiritual journey, and the social impact he was making here in North Amerikkka by uniting oppressed Continental Afrikans with those throughout the global Diaspora.

Malaak & Ilyasah Shabazz

The Shabazz daughters addressed the significance of their father's legacy before introducing the keynote speaker.

“For as long as we can remember, it has been a Shabazz family tradition to commemorate our father.  My mother did an amazing job in ensuring that her husband's legacy was not lost,” commented Ilyasah – while Malaak added…

“Generally our mother allowed us to have this day privately, and when she passed away we re-embraced it and are sharing it now with you.  We like to keep it private, but we also know that he was globally loved, so we share it with you.”

A. Peter Bailey – an original member of Malcolm X' Organization for African American Unity [O.A.A.U.] then explained the climate during the time Malcolm X was striving to reach his people, as he listed off a number of tragic events from the 1950s throughout the 1960s, regarding the lynchings and other terrorizing tactics of Amerikkkanized-Afrikan across the U.S, before saying:

“That's what was going on in this country during the time Brother Malcolm was speaking.  His presence, speeches and actions, everything he did entered the context of the times… then no one will [question] ‘why he was so angry?  Why did he talk the way he talked?  Why did he say that?'  He considered them as his people, and was responding to terrorism, and that's why he responded the way he did.”

He then explained how he initially met Malcolm X after witnessing him speak on Lenox Avenue and 116^th Street in 1962, before stating:  “One of the things that I learned that day, which I have never forgotten, is what was going on in this country then – and is still going on today – is the struggle against the concept of the system of white supremacy!”

“Brother Malcolm said it's the system of white supremacy that pervades across this entire country.  He also addressed the psychological effects of white supremacy, which he warned us to be aware of.”  As he then related it to the goings on today.

“He also taught us to develop thinking on an international level.  We are a part of a world and we need to connect ourselves to it, especially to the Afrikan aspect.  He was the first Afrikan-Amerikkkan to be invited to be an observer at the O.AU. conference in Cairo in 1964.  That's where he laid the groundwork for his campaign which was to take the United States government before the U.N. commission of human rights for violating - from being either unable or unwilling to protect the lives of Black people.”

Bailey concluded:

“The very fact that it reached that point would've been tremendous for us and devastating for this country!  When these Afrikan diplomats made that connection, because of the groundwork laid by Brother Malcolm at the O.A.U. conference in 1964, and in my mind somebody said somewhere –‘this man has got to go!'  When they saw those diplomats make that connection, I think they said” that's it!”  That was in December of 1964, and by February 21^st 1965 he was assassinated!”

In his own revolutionary words -

“Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.”

“If you're not ready to die for it, put the word ‘freedom' out of your vocabulary!”

Malikah Shabazz, the daughter of legendary leader Malcom X, tried to protect her identity when she gave Madison County authorities the name 'Mali Saban" as they responded to a Social Service call about the welfare of her 13-year-old daughter.

But soon after her identity was revealed, the police learned that New York authorities held outstanding warrants for her on charges including possession of stolen property, grand larceny, forgery, criminal possession of forged instruments and identity theft.

The 2009 charges against the 45-year-old may have been filed by an old family friend, according to Sean Devereux, her attorney in Asheville.

Devereux said the warrants may be interconnected with the long-running dispute between Shabazz and her sisters over their parents' estate.

Starting in humble beginnings, X rose to prominence as a member and speaker for the Nation Of Islam in the late ‘50s and early ‘60s.

A fearless advocate of African American rights, X's fiery speeches and unabashed acts of black-pride made him one of the most controversial and powerful black men in America.

X was murdered February 21, 1965 while delivering a speech at New York's Audubon Ballroom.

As reported, last April, the only man to serve time for in the murder Thomas Hagan was released from prison after serving 44 years.

As recently reported, earlier this month, the six daughters of Malcolm X and his late wife Betty Shabazz are embroiled in a dispute over their parent's estate.

Dr. Betty Shabazz, widow of Malcolm X, passed away in 1997, three weeks after suffering extensive burns in a house fire set by one of her grandsons.

There was no will found and now the six daughters of Malcolm X and Sister Betty are at odds over their mother's $1.4 million estate.

It is reported that a collection of unpublished works of Malcolm X and Dr. Betty is worth a greater value than the estate but an agreement between the daughters must be settled before the writings can be released.

The writings include four journals that Malcolm X kept during trips to Africa and the Middle East in 1964, a year before his assassination.

The matter of her estate moved to Surrogate's Court, and the battle has gone on for more than a decade.

According to The New York Times, the first public indication of problems with the estate began in 2002, after a collection of Malcolm X items turned up at Butterfields, the San Francisco auction house.

Daughter, Malikah Shabazz was accused of taking some of her father's unpublished writings to Florida without permission.

The estate had to pay more than $300,000 to get the items back, Joseph Fleming, the former lawyer for Ilyasah and Malaak Shabazz, wrote in a court petition in 2004.

Hopefully the daughters can come to an agreement and these journals can be released to the public one day.
