List of African-American Republicans
In order to add a person to the list, you have to cite reliable sources that describe the person as an African American and a Republican. None of the sources you have provided say that Leo J. Smith is a Republican. He works for the Republican Party, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's a Republican. Thank you. — MShabazz Talk/Stalk 13:48, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
