African Americans

Answer 1

The statement seems to reference a community that faced significant hardships during the Great Depression while also being involved in an intellectual and artistic movement in New York. Given this context, the community members most likely to make this statement would be **African Americans**. This is because, during the Great Depression, many African American communities, particularly those in urban areas like Harlem, experienced high unemployment rates and were central to cultural movements such as the Harlem Renaissance.
