Born Barrington Hugh Smith, Kingston, Jamaica, Ocober 28, 1959. Changed his name in New York on April 9, 1980 to Bari Malik Shabazz.
Actually, that was the date his Social Security record change was applied for. His name would have been changed before that. Indeed, as his Shabazz name is shown on residency records, his name must have been changed soon after moving to New York from Jamaica.
