To baptize avenues, squares and other public places, a commission established a list of personalities known as “of the diversity”.


The Minister in charge of the City, Nadia Hai, is preparing to make public a list of names, validated by the Elysee, which will be proposed to mayors to baptize avenues, streets, places in France.

It was established by a commission of scientists who would like to draw a more accurate representation of our country.

Needless to add that it is placed under the sacrosanct word of "diversity".

It draws heavily on the best of the French heritage of letters, cinema, song, public, civil and military life.

It honors brilliant subjects who have chosen France, and the French language, sometimes even to the point of changing their birth name (we learn that the filmmaker Henri Verneuil was born Achod Malakian).
