Dorothy Kuya (1932 – 23 December 2013) was a British communist activist, the co-founder of Teachers Against Racism, and the general secretary of the National Assembly of Women (NAW). She was also a life-long member of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB).
During the 1980s, Kuya became the Head of Race Equality for Haringey Council, and worked closely with Labour Party MP Bernie Grant.[1]
Later in life Kuya urged for the creation of a slavery museum in her home city of Liverpool,[1] a UK city whose wealth was largely a result of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. Her campaign was successful and she had played a key part in the development of the Liverpool's International Slavery Museum.[2]
Kuya died on the 23rd December 2013.[3]
She was described by the Director of National Museums Liverpool as "Liverpool's greatest fighter against racism and racial intolerance."[4]
