How did Daniel Smith Die?

His wife also reported that he had cancer and congestive heart failure, which confirmed his passing.

With Martin Luther King Jr., Daniel Smith marched on Washington and attended the inauguration of Barack Obama, the first Black president. Smith’s remarkable life tale also includes fleeing the clutches of the Ku Klux Klan in the Deep South. He also served in the final linkage to the country’s worst episode because he was only one generation removed from slavery. Thanks to his father, Abram. The father was born in Virginia in 1863 and was temporarily owned by a white man.
