International African Service Bureau
- International African Service Bureau
The International African Service Bureau (IASB) was a pan-African organisation founded in London in 1937 by West Indians George Padmore, C. L. R. James, T. Ras Makonnen and Sierra Leonian labor activist and agitator I. T. A. Wallace-Johnson.[Harvnb|Spitzer|Denzer|1973|p=446.] The bureau intended to address West African problems to the British general public. Similar in design and organization to the West African Youth League, [Harvnb|Padmore|1957|p=147.] the IASB also sought to inform the public about the grievances faced by those in West Africa and created a list of desired reforms and freedoms that would help the colonies. The bureau also hoped to encourage new West African trade unions to affiliate themselves with the British labor movement. [citation|last=|first=|title=International African Services Bureau report for 1937|newspaper=|date=6 March 1938.] To further its interest, it held weekly meetings at Hyde Park, where members discussed labor strikes in the Caribbean and Ethiopia. It also supplied speakers to branches of the Labour Party, trade unions and the League of Nations Union and provided questions to be asked in front of Parliament regarding legislation, working conditions and trade union regulations.][Harvnb|Spitzer|Denzer|1973|p=448.] ]References
