Exposure for dark skinned people


On a recent trip to Africa my slides of dark skinned indivuals often came out very dark. Most were shot in bright sun. I metered some of these with an incident meter and others with the cameras spot meter. Can you offer some guidelines for photographing dark skinned people? What about situations where there are both light and dark skinned people?
Thanks,
Joel
