Kenneth and Mamie Clark famously did this research almost 75-years ago. Their findings indicated that black children also preferred to play with the lighter colored dolls and that they gave the lighter colored dolls positive attributes, while giving the darker colored dolls negative attributes.
There is a short documentary called "A Girl Like Me," from a few years ago, that deals with black women and their perceptions of beauty that recreates the study. I would imagine that it is available on line.
