MICHAEL JACKSON'S NAME ON DISPLAY AGAIN AT GARDNER SCHOOL AUDITORIUM

Elementary School's Most Famous Alum Recognized for His Musical Legacy

October 15, 2010

Los Angeles — The silver, foot-high letters gleam once again, proclaiming The Michael Jackson Auditorium at Gardner Street Elementary School in Hollywood. It is the last public school attended by Jackson—then an 11-year-old sixth grader — who was the lead in a singing group with his brothers. Three months after school started, Motown released their debut album "Diana Ross Presents the Jackson 5." And, the young entertainer was on his way to becoming an international star.

"It's important for the District to value the artistic impact and humanitarian contribution that will be the lasting legacy of Michael Jackson," said Los Angeles School Board member Steven Zimmer. I'm happy that we will be recognizing and appreciating Michael's LAUSD moment."

The sign was originally unveiled at the then newly-refurbished auditorium in 1989. However, when the King of Pop was charged with child molestation, the sign was covered with layered board. For the record, the entertainer was never convicted. After his death last year fans began a campaign to have his name revealed.

At the direction of Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Ramon C. Cortines, the tribute was uncovered today.

"In recognition of Michael Jackson's musical legacy and contribution to modern culture I have directed our maintenance and operations department to remove the layered board covering the tribute to Mr. Jackson at Gardner Street Elementary School in Hollywood," said LAUSD Superintendent Ramon Cortines.

This is wonderful news, but it's only the beginning. I am looking forward to the day when everyone in the media and tabloids who shamefully smeared Michael's reputation will offer a public apology to Michael, his family, and his fans.
As Michael said in We've Had Enough, There's nothing that can't be done if we raise our voice as one.

I am so with you, Daniela. I long for that day and it won't come fast enough.

Great job heisinme for sending that to Oprah. Also a great idea to flood her email in order to get the point across that we are tired of her destructive undertones in her messages towards Michael. If people do email her, remember L.O.V.E. Blessings to you all.

UPDATE from Uncover MJ's Name: PLEASE read below - it's very important that people don't stop any progress that is being made even if their intentions are good. However, here is a way to really make a statement...

Uncover MJ's Name

I'd also like to add that if you wish to show your gratitude to the school for their long time support of our campaign, you can make a donation. I spoke with a counselor who said they are always in need of: Number 2 pencils, copy paper, and notebooks that the children can write in.

Uncover MJ's Name

On Monday 18th October 2010, @HelpUncoverMJxx said:

PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT NOTICE: It has been brought to our attention that fans want to go to the school and leave flowers etc. We don't mind you dropping by on a weekend and leaving flowers. But we respectfully request that you:

A.) Don't make a mess (candle wax etc)
B.) Don't write on ANY of the walls or deface school property. Let the only person who has signed a wall at Gardner remain MJ. As he had signed his classroom door.
C.) Don't linger too long. If you wish to drop flowers off, please drop them off and leave. No vigils or celebrations outside the school.
Please remember that we're still in "pending". YES, Michael Jackson's name is uncovered, but hopefully there will be an official unveiling and we don't want to do anything to hinder that, as well as, not to mention, hinder the work that we've put in to get it uncovered.
Remember that there are homes all around the school and we don't want to disturb any neighbors or school staff that may be at the school working over the weekend.

As we said, we might be throwing a big event at the school auditorium or outside the school in April. We're gonna make sure we get it Ok'd and we'll announce later. That way, we can ALL gather there and celebrate this unfathomable victory.

I'm positive I can speak for all of us when I say that we don't want to leave even an ounce of regret at the pit of anyone's stomachs over their long overdue decision. Let's stay classy and continue representing Michael Jackson the way he would represent himself.

Love you all.

Respectfully,
