Francesca Ramsey 和 Conscious Lee：大萧条时期，白人资助者撤资导致哈莱姆文艺复兴的艺术家和知识分子面临经济困境，这与当今黑人艺术家的困境产生共鸣。体制通常不会认可或盈利于黑人艺术，除非他们能从中获利。大萧条之前，哈莱姆文艺复兴的经济依赖于白人的慷慨资助，而大萧条导致这种资助消失，这与当今‘觉醒文化’的衰退类似。大萧条时期，白人对黑人艺术的资助减少。 Countee Cullen：大萧条导致白人资助者撤离哈莱姆，导致其诗歌创作的职业生涯终结，为了经济稳定，他选择了一份教师工作。 W.E.B Du Bois：大萧条加剧了他对社会主义和共产主义的兴趣，促使他更深入地研究马克思主义，以解决种族不平等问题。在与白人至上主义者洛斯罗普·斯托达德的辩论中，他尖锐地驳斥了种族融合对白人构成威胁的说法，并主张有色人种应该在政府、经济和教育方面获得平等权利。他晚年因共产主义观点而被政府列入黑名单。

Shownotes Transcript

As Countee Cullen tries to recover from his divorce from Yolande DuBois, his career begins to falter. The Great Depression has rolled in and Black art is one of the first things to suffer. White patrons have pulled their investments, so Countee must find a steady gig. He takes a job as a teacher, where he begins to mentor a young James Baldwin. Meanwhile, W.E.B. DuBois is moving away from respectability politics and calling for Black people to divest from integrated society and capitalism.
