The Negro Worker

The Negro Worker was the newspaper of the International Trade Union Committee of Negro Workers.

It was called The International Negro Workers' Review, when launched in 1928, but the name was changed in March 1931.

[1] It was edited first by George Padmore until 1931 and then by James W. Ford.

The Negro Worker was the great dissemination instrument of the Comintern, which allowed black people and allies to "have updated information on the struggles that were being waged around the world and the necessary (communist) political orientation for radical transformations, taking as reference to the feat of Soviet Russia".

[2] Like Marcus Garvey's Negro World, it was banned for subversion in Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada and Saint Vincent, although this did not prevent the working class (mostly from the oil companies) from circulating the publication clandestinely.
