Craig Lindsey gives us a list of neo-noir films made by African-American directors. Not at all a bad place to start...but there are more films than these which need to be added to the list, a number of which may stray a bit from the "hard-boiled" requirement Lindsey sets down.
Dan Flory's 2009 book about noir and black filmmakers' crime films in the 1990s and early 2000s covers a lot more ground, but may be more academic than many readers might wish to encounter:
