International Trade Union Committee for Black Workers
The International Trade Union Committee for Black Workers was a Comintern organisation launched in 1930.
It was launched in July 1930 at an ‘International Conference of Negro Workers’ which took place in Hamburg (not a place with many Black workers at that time). There were 17 delegates including:
- Vivian Henry: Trinidad,
- S.M. DeLeon: Jamaica,
- I. T. A. Wallace-Johnson: Sierra Leone
- Albert Nzula: South Africa.
- Jomo Kenyatta: Kenya
- Frank Macaulay
- George Padmore
- James W. Ford
- I. Hawkins
- J. Reid
- Edward Francis Small: Gambia
It produced a journal, The Negro Worker, which was edited by George Padmore until 1931 and by James W. Ford until 1937 when it ceased publication.[1]
