The title kinda says it...

Is there a comic book, animation or any other media where Superman is depicted as being an African American?

I know that there are alternate universes where he is, for example, a Soviet, but I'm more interested if there's a depiction of a black Superman.

And I'm even more interested if in this universe he lives in the USA.

There are at least five.

Sunshine Superman

Kal-El of Earth D

Kalel of Earth-23

Introduced in Final Crisis (2009).

Also known as Calvin Ellis, and plenty from the USA, which he is President of!

Val-Zod of Earth-2

Who was adopted by the house of El, and took the Superman mantra afterwards.

Harvey Dent

Yes, you read that right. You learn something every day, I guess! In the Tangent Comics (1997), Harvey Dent was Black, and discovered he had powers. He reached out to help citizens, which in turn named him Superman. He lived in New York.

  Kalel of Earth-23 is basically "What if Obama was Superman?" :) Thanks for the answer, now I'll take a look into the story of each of them.
