Maya Angelou writes in her poem, the plight of African - Americans. They were deprived of their basic rights as the Whites believed that they were superior to them and should be barred of all freedom. 

Maya has herself experienced such deprivations and almost at the breaking point, starts screaming out her pain and protested through her poems. The caged bird is an extended metaphor of her  race.
