A boulevard for Hafez in Washington, DC?

At another site I've compared the way some other countries are honoring their histories and achievements with portraits on their currency while the US is spinning its wheels trying to honor Harriet Tubman the same way. Just after my most recent post, Pico Iyer suggested that naming streets could provide another way to celebrate and honor tradition.

What would it be like if more cities, like here in Paris, had streets named after both Rosa Parks and Ferdowsi? Let Tehran have a Thoreau Boulevard, and Washington D.C. an avenue named for Hafez!
