Yes, and I prefer "enslaved Black people" over "enslaved peoples", especially when the context of the writing or talk is known to specifically refer to the Black people who White enslaved.

Stating/saying "enslaved Black people" creates a connection between the enslaved and their living descendants. It’s a connection that affirms the credibility for the call for reparations and fortifies our ancestral bond.
