It's tied in with Feminist movements and civil rights movements. Perhaps some books on those subjects, general overviews, and perhaps a biography of Lucille Clifton could be of use. I know she wrote memoirs a while ago, perhaps those will be of interest.

thanks. um can you help me to kind of paraphrase the thing. or like give me a few hints on what some of these things. because to me this poem has the same attitude the whole poem

I'll give you a hint, Aunt Jamima is a brand of pancake powder and syrup, featuring a black woman on the boxes cover.
