In 1990, Benedictine Fr Cyprian Davis published "History of Black Catholics in the United States", a book that covered the history of Black Catholics from Esteban's expedition in the 16th century all the way to the period of the late 80s. It remains the primary text for the general history of Black Catholics. That same year in July, he and his fellow Clergy Caucus members established Black Catholic History Month, to be celebrated each year in November.
