The novel is in the public domain as its copyright was not renewed by 1959.
In early 2020, The New Group announced it was developing a musical adaptation of Black No More directed by Scott Elliott with a book by John Ridley and choreography by Bill T. Jones. Rapper Black Thought contributed music and lyrics and appeared in the production, which was originally scheduled to premiere in October 2020.[12] The production ran from January to February 2022.[13] The Off-Broadway production has faced criticism for its deviation from Schuyler's satire, with its musical numbers facing criticism for tonal dissonance from their source.[14]
