Is the Title "Book of Negroes" Appropriate?

The title "The Book of Negroes" has been quite controversial ever since the book was published in 2007. One dutch group burned only the cover of the book, in protest against the use of the word 'negro.' The book has also been published in different names, for example in the United States the the title was changed to "Someone Knows My Name."
Chair of The Writers' Union of Canada, Greg Hollingshead, said "While we recognize the sensitivity over the use of the word 'Negro' in the books title, The Book of Negroes is a real document and Mr. Hill uses it deliberately to underscore the plight of African Americans being shipped from New York to Nova Scotia in 1783." This quote sheds light on the fact that Hill was truly using the word 'Negro' for emphasis, and not in a racially discriminatory way.
I believe that the title is appropriate, because it makes a statement, that matches the intensity of the text in the book. I think the censorship of the book was taken way out of context and that the text is very fitting to the title, for Aminita Diallos story.
