Maya Angelou's title for her autobiography, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, is a metaphor for the struggles of African Americans and other oppressed people. The caged bird is a symbol of the confinement and limitations that these people face, while the singing of the bird is a metaphor for the resilience and hope that they maintain in spite of their struggles.
