Something like the movie version of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court featuring the African American girl.

Peter Meilinger | 469 comments This is a minor element in Terry Pratchett's Johnny and the Bomb, where four "modern" British kids (mid-90s, really) go back to England during the Blitz. One of the kids is black and he encounters a bit of difficulty. I wouldn't read it just for that scene, but it's a great read anyway.

Ok, while not fitting the second part of your request (the only POC, or one of very few POC) you still might like Wraiths of Time.

Spockles | 198 comments Thanks! Ooh, I shall bookmark that TVTropes page for later reading.

John Green | 63 comments I might suggest A Rebel in Time by Harry Harrison. The story rattles along. And in a slightly different direction, there is time-travel and race issues involved in The Guns of the South by Harry Turtledove.
