Dorothy Kuya

Dorothy Kuya (16 March 1933 – 23 December 2013) was a leading British communist and human rights activist from Liverpool, the co-founder of Teachers Against Racism, and the general secretary of the National Assembly of Women (NAW). She was a life-long member of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB), and is known for being Liverpool's first community relations officer and for leading a successful campaign to establish the International Slavery Museum in Liverpool. During the mid-1980s, Kuya served as the chair of the London housing association Ujima, during which time it became the largest black-led social enterprise in Europe.

The Director of National Museums Liverpool described her as "Liverpool's greatest fighter against racism and racial intolerance" and "one of the country's leading figures in combating inequality."
