It is the oppression that they felt from being slaves or being Black.  Many of them hide their feelings of hate and anger behind fake smiles or “mask” from their tormentors.  Even after the Civil War, they still had to go through more trials as they were not treated equally as Whites.  In Sympathy, the caged bird’s injuries are caused by beating his wings on the cage where he tries to be free.  Both poems appeal to the public to see the injustice being done and begs them to do something about it.
