Rev. T. Wendell Foster Way (Bronx)
Present name:None
Location:At the intersection of Forest Avenue and 161st Street
Honoree: The late Rev. Foster (1924-2019) was a trailblazer well known for his community advocacy. He was empowered to run for the City Council by the indifference of the political leaders before him. After numerous attempts, he led a successful campaign supported by the African-American community’s support. In 1978, he became the first African-American from the Bronx to hold any political office. This historic achievement marked the start of diversity among Bronx political and government representation. As the former Council Member of District 16, he responded to the “Burning of the Bronx,” by creating low-income home ownership opportunities in Highbridge and expanding parks and open space throughout his district. He served as Council Member for 24 years before passing the reins to his daughter, Helen Diane Foster. After his retirement from the City Council he dedicated himself fully to the congregation of Christ Church UCC. As their Pastor, he offered sermons that encouraged worshippers to become more engaged in their spiritual and civic duties. He served in this role for 40 years before becoming Pastor Emeritus.
