With the renowned Notting Hill Carnival coming up at the end of the month, what a better time than now to reshare about the extraordinary life and work of one of its co-founders, activist and intellectual Claudia Jones. Jones was a pioneering Caribbean activist whose contributions have shaped movements for human rights and equality across the globe. From her roots in Trinidad and Tobago to her unyielding fight against racial and gender injustices in both the US and the UK, Claudia Jones’s legacy is a vibrant testament to the power of resilience and advocacy.
This episode of Strictly Facts is a tribute to her indomitable spirit, exploring her early involvement with the Junior NAACP and the National Urban League, her influential writings for the Communist Party, and her relentless activism even after being deported from the US. Learn about her pivotal role in founding Britain’s first major Black newspaper, the West Indian Gazette, her advocacy for the Windrush generation, and her unwavering commitment to equality. Tune in to hear how Claudia Jones not only challenged but transformed the landscape of activism for the Caribbean diaspora and beyond.
