Should descriptor African American be used in the lead/article or not?
"African-American" has been repeatedly edited out of the header by an IP editor, claiming at first in the edit summary that it refers only to Americans who were born in Africa, which is manifestly not true.
This article has information indicating her ethnicity is significant, e.g. her founding "Black Americans for Family Values" and many of her quotes. The fact that she is an African-American conservative activist also makes her notable. As far as I know, there's no debate on Wikipedia over including "African-American" in articles about African-Americans. See e.g. Barack Obama. Is there a style guide on this?
