      ab: The article focuses on Buzz Johnson, a Trinidadian activist and publisher, who sought to preserve the legacy of Claudia Jones, a significant yet often overlooked figure in Caribbean and Black British history. Born in Tobago in 1951, Johnson was influenced by the labor movements in Trinidad and the Windrush generation's struggles in the UK. He founded Karia Press in the 1980s to address the lack of representation of Caribbean activists in Western media, publishing works that highlighted their contributions to liberation movements. Johnson's commitment to Jones's memory included publishing a notable book about her life and co-founding the Claudia Jones Organization, which supported African-Caribbean families in London. The article also features insights from his son, Amandla Thomas-Johnson, who discusses the ongoing relevance of Jones's activism in contemporary anti-capitalist movements among youth.
