Ilyasah Shabazz reflects on her father, Malcolm X

Saturday marks 50 years since the assassination of Malcolm X. The civil rights leader was gunned down while giving a speech in New York City.

Ilyasah Shabazz, the third of Malcolm X's six daughters, spoke with CBSN's Vladimir Duthiers about her father's life and his lasting influence.

Shabazz called her father "a man of great compassion, of integrity, a man who is being responsible for not only his people but his country."

"He was only in his 20s when the world learned about him and 39 when he was killed -- a short time in his life to have made such an enormous impact, not only in this country but around the world," Shabazz said. "He was working all the time, looking for solutions to the human condition that would oppress its fellow brother, and ultimately looking for the oneness of humanity."
