The International Trade Union Committee for Black Workers was a Comintern organisation launched in 1930.

It was launched in July 1930 at an ‘International Conference of Negro Workers’ which took place in Hamburg (not a place with many Black workers at that time). There were 17 delegates including:

  • Vivian Henry: Trinidad,
  • S.M. DeLeon: Jamaica,
  • I. T. A. Wallace-Johnson: Sierra Leone
  • Albert Nzula: South Africa.
  • Jomo Kenyatta: Kenya
  • Frank Macaulay
  • George Padmore
  • James W. Ford
  • I. Hawkins
  • J. Reid
  • Edward Francis Small: Gambia
  • 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.
