Claudia Jones (1915–1964) was a Trinidad-born journalist, activist, and feminist whose work shaped Black British culture. After migrating to the U.S., she joined the Communist Party and became a key voice for race, class, and gender equality. Deported during the McCarthy era, she settled in the UK, where she founded the West Indian Gazette (1958), the first major Black British newspaper. Jones organised a 1959 indoor “Caribbean Carnival” to celebrate unity and culture, seen as a precursor to the Notting Hill Carnival. Her legacy as a radical thinker, community organiser, and champion of equality endures as a cornerstone of Britain’s multicultural history.
