The Negro Welfare Association (NWA) was one of the most prominent Black British organizations in the 1930s. Calling "for the complete liberation and independence of all Negroes who are suffering from capitalist exploitation and imperialist domination", the NWA campaigned on both British and international issues, such as the cause of the Scottsboro Boys. In 1935 the NWA adopted a new constitution, requiring all its leadership to be black. Under the leadership of Peter Blackman and Desmond Buckle, it actively supported Caribbean labour rebellions in the late 1930s.
