Wilfred Adolphus Domingo (W. A. Domingo) (26 November 1889 – 14 February 1968)[1][2] of Kingston, Jamaica, was an activist and journalist who became the youngest editor of Marcus Garvey's newspaper the Negro World. As an activist and writer, Domingo travelled to the United States advocating for Jamaican sovereignty as a leader of the African Blood Brotherhood and the Harlem branch of the Socialist Party.[3]

Biography

Domingo was born in Kingston, Jamaica, the youngest son of a Jamaican mother and a Spanish father.[2] Orphaned early, Domingo was brought up with his siblings by a maternal uncle and was educated at the Kingston Board School,[2] an English-run colonial school specifically for the West Indies. On graduating, he worked as a tailor and began writing newspaper articles. In 1912 he left Jamaica for the United States, settling initially in Boston before moving to New York.[2] Having first met Marcus Garvey in Kingston, Domingo became the founding editor of Garvey’s newspaper the Negro World.[1] Through this role, he gained the attention of Alain Locke during the Harlem Renaissance. Domingo was a contributor to Locke's 1925 anthology An Interpretation. Domingo's essay "The Gift of the Black Tropics" gave an account of the sudden immigration of foreign-born Africans of the West Indies to Harlem during the early 1920s.[4]

Domingo died in New York City, having suffered a stroke four years earlier in 1964.[5]
