Claudia Jones, née Claudia Vera Cumberbatch (21 February 1915 – 24 December 1964), was a Trinidad and Tobago-born journalist and activist. As a child, she migrated with her family to the US, where she became a Communist political activist, feminist and black nationalist, adopting the name Jones as "self-protective disinformation". Due to the political persecution of Communists in the US, she was deported in 1955 and subsequently lived in the United Kingdom. Upon arriving in the UK, she immediately joined the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB), and would remain a member for the rest of her life. She then founded Britain's first major black newspaper the West Indian Gazette (WIG) in 1958, and played a central role in founding the Notting Hill Carnival, the second largest annual carnival in the world.
