Black folks were not brought there as slaves to work on plantations... there's no major industries to encourage migration to Vermont like in a place like detroit... and there was no big port like in LA or new York.
Most places that have a large population of blacks or Latinos can trace the origins of that population to either slaves or migrant laborers. Folks were either forced there to work as slaves, or after slavery folks moved around to certain places for work.
Vermont is not only cold... there's not any really big industry there to draw a large migration of workers.
