African Americans

Answer 1

The statement is most likely to be attributed to **African Americans**. During the Great Depression, African American communities faced severe economic hardship, including high unemployment rates and the challenges of the broader social context, including the impact of systemic racism. Additionally, there was a significant cultural and artistic movement during this time, particularly in Harlem with the Harlem Renaissance, which highlights the involvement of African Americans in intellectual and artistic endeavors in New York.
