well, when German symphonic proggers "Anyone's Daughter" decided to reform in the early 2000s, the original keyboardist and guitarist sought out a new vocalist. Most of the material they produced was straightforward rock but there are certainly hints of past glories. The singer Andre Carswell has a fine voice, as shown in this acoustic live version as a trio. The reformed full band has Raoul Walton on bass, who appears to be black as well Clap

The Jimmy Hendrix Experience. Though half Native American, Jimmy always though himself black.

I think there are many black musicians in jazz-fusion genre

Not sure is it prog, but I think quite fit to jazz-fusion category as complex and symphonized form of jazz

Corey Henry is a monster on keys. Check out from 4:54

Lets start with Eskimos (inuit as opposed to 'Eskimo')- how about the fantastic Sume? Smile

Weather Report
David Bowie (esp. his 'Berlin' era)
Steve Hillage (usually the bassist)
Can (with Reebop and Rosko - which then means Traffic as well)

Not Prog, but Haircut One Hundred had Blair Cunningham on drums.
