I am not aware of a listserv specifically but there is a program on PBS this evening about this topic: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/aalives/ Also, you may want to get in touch with the Jean Sampson Scott Chapter of the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society. They have a website address listed in their newsletter but the link is broken: www.aahgsny.org. The parent organizations web address is: www.aahgs.org. Good luck. Catherine M.
