The International Trade Union Committee of Negro Workers Logo
*On this date in 1928, The International Trade Union Committee of Negro Workers (ITUCNW) was formed. ITUCNW was a section of the Profintern that existed during the late 1920s and 1930s, serving as a radical transnational platform for Black workers in Africa and the Atlantic World.
It was launched at the "International Conference of Negro Workers," which took place in Hamburg. There were 17 delegates, including Vivian Henry, S. M. DeLeon, I. T. A. Wallace-Johnson, Albert Nzula, Jomo Kenyatta, Frank Macaulay, George Padmore, James W. Ford, I. Hawkins, J. Reid, and Edward Francis Small.
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.
