Davis Prize: In September 2020, the Cushwa Center in partnership with the American Catholic Historical Association (ACHA) launched the Davis Prize to recognize outstanding works in progress on the Black Catholic experience. The prize honors Father Cyprian Davis, O.S.B. (1930–2015), a Benedictine monk and beloved scholar whose ground-breaking book The History of Black Catholics in the United States (1990) won the ACHA’s John Gilmary Shea Prize. The Davis Prize is awarded annually and includes a cash award of $1,000. Recipients will be honored each January at the ACHA’s annual meeting. The next application deadline is December 31, 2021.
