Peter Blackman (28 June 1909–8 August 1993) was a Caribbean communist, scholar, civil rights activist, and Christian missionary.

During his career as a Communist Party activist, he became close friends with American civil rights leaders Paul Robeson and W. E. B.

[3] Their family lived on the grounds of a Caribbean Anglican Church, which influenced Blackman's religious beliefs at a young age.

[2] Soon he realised that black priests such as himself were being paid less than their white counterparts as a part of a racist rule upheld by church officials.

[1][3][4][8] Blackman spent much of his time at the CPGB headquarters on King Street, London, and was asked to work on the party's Colonial Information Bulletin.

[8] Blackman continued to work as an active member of the CPGB throughout the 1940s and 1950s; however, at an unknown date during the 1960s, he left the party, due to feelings that his talents were not being fully utilised.

[8] Blackman wrote the long poem My Song Is For All (published by Lawrence & Wishart, 1952), during these travels across Europe, after being inspired by his visit to the site of the Warsaw Ghetto.

[8] Blackman's recording of "Stalingrad" was the B-side of Wyatt's 1981 single "Stalin Wasn't Stallin'", a cover of a Golden Gate Jubilee Quartet song that was originally released in the 1940s during World War II.
