to be honored as a 'trail blazer'
Yale University Chaplain Frederick J. Streets has been selected by News Channel 8 and channel UPN 9 as one of two "African-American Trail Blazers" of 2006.
As such, the two television stations will air 30-second spots during the month of February -- nationally celebrated as Black History Month -- profiling Streets and other high-profile African Americans who "continue to inspire all people." In addition to the on-air honor, News Channel 8 and UPN 9 will also feature photographs and write-ups of the honorees during the month of February at www.wtnh.com.
Streets is the senior pastor of the Church of Christ in Yale and a clinical social worker at the Yale Child Study Center. His research, publication and teaching interests are in pastoral theology, institutional leadership and development, law and religion, and social welfare. He has been engaged in issues affecting both troubled regions of the world and New Haven. As a consultant to the Harvard Program in Refugee Trauma and in conjunction with the mental health community in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Streets helped implement a model for the psychiatric and pastoral care of Bosnian citizens who were traumatized by war.
Streets has also traveled to Colombia, South America, to promote peace-making there, and to Buenos Aires, Argentina, as part of an effort to foster a greater understanding of the nonprofit sector's relationship to higher education. He has been a member of the New Haven Board of Police Commissioners and has served as co-chair of the Ward One Democratic Town Committee. In addition, he was a delegate to the first world conference of religious leaders ever to convene at the United Nations.
The Yale chaplain's most recent honors include an Outstanding Achievement Award from his alma mater, Ottawa University, and the Tapestry Award from the New Haven Family Alliance.
