I believe Mike Grier is a BU alum.    Correct?

Grier is a BU Alum.

Warren Fields was, and I would guess still is, African-American.  He played 1 game for the Varsity team in 1983-1984 and he played regularly on the JV team.  So the answer is yes.

Interestingly Warren (Belmont Hill School?) was a rare US, and even more rare Massachusetts, player on a team that consistently had 19 or 20 players from Ontario.  Those early 80's teams were not only Canadian, but they were almost 100% Team Ontario.
 
I can't think of any others.

Mike and Chris Drury played on the same line at BU, and they frequently are paired C/LW in Buffalo (much was said by the talking heads about their matchup with Forsberg-Gagne.)
