Answer and Explanation:
In the short story "Marigolds", by Eugenia Collier, the narrator lives in a poor black community. The story takes place during the Great Depression that devastated the United States in the 1930's. <u>Even though there were people who said "prosperity... was 'just around the corner,'" the narrator and her community knew better than to believe those words. They had always been poor. Their hard work never paid off. Those words, according to the narrator, "were white folks’ words." Maybe prosperity would return to white people soon, but the narrator's community had never seen or had it; the American Dream never came true for them.

In this letter, Robinson addresses the "treatment" he and others have experienced. Although he does not explain what the treatment is in this section, it is reasonable to assume that he is referring to the discrimination and oppression imposed upon African Americans. The other options are events that are too specific or recent, while Jackie states that the treatment has been going on for years.
