Has your library got Zora Neal Hurston's "Mules and Men"? It might be in there. I was going to refer you to "The Women's Bible" Elizabeth Cady Stanton's feminist interpretation of scripture, which suggests that Adam was every bit as culpable as Eve. But I don't think it would apply.
Wait! I did read a story, when I was a kid! It was in a book called "Yankee Doodle's Cousins" and it was called "Why the Negro Works So Hard". That might be it.
