The world is filled with Michael Jackson fans who not only want to see justice served for the King of Pop, but many are still hoping to see tributes and even monuments built in the memory of the entertainer who has had such a profound impact on the world. According to a new report, there is a group of fans who are hoping to see Michael Jackson's name uncovered at a Los Angeles elementary school where his name was once displayed.
As TMZ reports, the group of fans have started a campaign for the school to uncover Jackson's name. The school is Gardner elementary school and MJ's name over the auditorium. It has been known as the "Michael Jackson Auditorium." Apparently after the allegations of 2003, school officials covered Jackson's name with plywood -- this is an act that has outraged fans for years, and the fans want vindication for Jackson. Jackson was cleared of all charges, and therefore his name should never have been hidden.
The Board of Education, per the report, confirmed that there was indeed a meeting that took place. The group of fans have collected over 2000 signatures.

>Update:
Update: Spoke to Mr. Urbina, Principal of Gardner
.por Uncover Michael Jackson's Name (The Gardner St. School Issue Campaign), quinta, 14 de outubro de 2010 às 14:24. Good morning supporters.
I just had another wonderful conversation with Mr. Urbina, the Principal of Gardner Elementary School. First I must thank him greatly for all his support he has shown us from the beginning. He was in support of this before we even contacted him. He is also just a wonderful man and has been nothing but kind, helpful, and a pleasure to talk and work with. I just can not say enough about him.
He did tell me the school just had a Back to School night and they took a vote on having the sign uncovered. Great news!!! They voted on YES!!! We thank the school PTA, Teachers, and Parents for their support in this matter. This is really big!!
He also said he did speak to Mr. Cortines, the Superintendent of the LAUSD yesterday. He is anxious to hear what we have to say on the 19th. But I will say the 19th will be big!!
Listen everyone, let me just say that this WILL be done. Our patience and peserverance WILL pay off.
Mr. Urbina also said he was inpressed with how we have conducted ourself in our campaign and comends us all. I have full confidence that all of our hard work and your support will not be in vain. <!--sizeo:3--><!--/sizeo-->Michael Jackson's Name WILL BE UNCOVERED!!! <!--sizec--><!--/sizec-->
Also just to remind everyone I did post earlier that we were in a TMZ article today. The writer has contacted me and IS a Michael Jackson fan and supports us! I wrote him back my feelings on TMZ, lol, but thanked him for the nice article which was all true. I asked him to mention the campaign's actual name too.
So much happening that is ALL GREAT!!! So once again, I will tell you all , MICHAEL'S NAME WILL BE UNCOVERED!!!
I really appreciate all of your help and really have much love for you. We would not be where we are today without all of the supporters around the world. Be proud to be part of a wonderful campaign to clear Michael's name and have it UNCOVERED once and for all!!! We are making HISTORY her for Michael Jackson. Feels great to be apart of it.
Much LOVE, Jennifer Marino
