Adolph Reed's explanation is that "one day, Jesse Jackson called a press conference" to declare that from henceforth and forevermore it'd be "African American."

By the gods I remember that press conference!

I think the Camille Cosby interview came soon after. It was no doubt part of an effort to 'explain' this ground shaking innovation in hyphenated naming and self esteem engineering.
