I third the recommendation for contacting Mt. Auburn Cemetery in
Cambridge, MA. They have a number of memorials for well-known folks
there, so it is a site of historic and tourist interest. (My mother's
family, however, is in a bunch of little brass urns down in the
basement. :-))
There's also an important colonial African-American cemetery in
Newport, RI. So, you might try tracking those folks down via the
Newport Historical Society.

Hi Cecilia
I would contact the African American Meeting House on Joy Street in
Boston, MA and the Mount Auburn Cemetary in Cambridge, MA. They may have
some good suggestions for you.
Best,
