Question

Which community members would most likely to say to following: “The Great Depression hit our community especially hard. We were part of a major intellectual and artistic movement in New York. Moreover, our unemployment rates were almost 50 percent.”?

African Americans
Women nurses
Movie stars
White males

Answer 1

The statement you provided is most likely to be associated with **African Americans**. During the Great Depression, African American communities faced severe economic hardships, and many were involved in the Harlem Renaissance, which was a significant intellectual and artistic movement centered in New York City during the 1920s and into the 1930s. The mention of high unemployment rates aligns with the historical context of the era, where African Americans faced disproportionately high joblessness.
