I believe you will find that New York Public Library publishes a book which is a bibliography of books and other materials relating to the African American experience. NYPL operates the wonderful Schomberg Collection, and the Countee Cullen Branch on West 136 St. maintains (or used to) a reference collection of children's books called the James Weldon Johnson Collection. I'll bet a call or letter to the Children's Librarian there would prove fruitful.
