I’m looking for a book that has black led characters with time travel. I’m thinking Allison in season two of the umbrella academy! Preferably in the 60s-80s
Kindred by Octavia Butler (she travels back to the 1800s)
When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead is set in the 70s, has time travel elements and deals with race issues, the main character is white but a major supporting character is black, both are kids.

It’s not the same time period, but you might like *The Upper World* by Femi Fadugba.
> Today
> During arguably the worst week of Esso’s life, an accident knocks him into an incredible world—a place beyond space or time, where he can see glimpses of the past and future. But if what he sees there is true, he might not have much longer to live, unless he can use his new gift to change the course of history.
> Tomorrow
> Rhia’s past is filled with questions, none of which she expects a new physics tutor to answer. But Dr. Esso’s not here to help Rhia. He’s here because he needs her help—to unravel a tragedy that happened fifteen years ago. One that holds the key not only to Rhia’s past, but to a future worth fighting for.
There’s a sequel called *The Mirror World* which I haven’t gotten around to yet.

These are both sort of:
Version Control by Dexter Palmer
The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson
