I think there are all sorts of civic naming opportunities. And I fully agree it shouldn't be just athletes. Ralph Bunche is a man I know a lot about, but by means of my own reading, unfortunately. I don't recall hearing a teacher ever utter it. It's a fine idea to name something for him.

I don't think we need a radical renaming of many things in the city all of a sudden. I just think when opportunities arise to name new things, or reconsider old things, we should give some thought to naming them for people that are worth remembering, from all walks of life. That is for the purpose of honoring, yes. But also to suggest the question to people yet unborn, "Who was __________?"
