From roughly 1968 to the mid-1990s, Black Catholicism would transform from pre-Vatican II roots into a full member of the Black Church. It developed its own structure, identity, music, liturgy, thought, theology, and appearance within the larger Catholic Church. As a result, in the 21st century, Black Catholic Church traditions are seen in most Black parishes, institutions, schools, and organizations across the country.
