The only "black" family aboard weren't African-American, they were Haitian... African-Americans were not permitted to make the crossing, from what I found. Check out the articles I listed to find more info about that family.
Joseph LaRoche was the man's name, and he is thought to have been the only black passenger who died, but his family were saved, possibly in lifeboat 14, according to the roster info below. You'll also be able to look him and his family members up in the 2nd Class Passengers list that I linked.

Nope. There was at least one known black person, but he was not of US origin, and thus not an African-American.

No there most certainly was not - i stake my life on it...
I can say with some confidence though that there was most likely some "negroes" be them from America or the UK
