"Negro" in the historical context.

How do people feel about the use of the term Negro as part of a description of an event which occured at a time when Negro was the preferred non-offensive term (prior to 1960(?)).

For example in a history of golf in Los Angeles.

In 1932, Snooty Golf Club changed its by-laws and admitted its first Negro member, however it wasn't until 1935 that it admitted its first Jew.
