Like his intimate friend, [[Stonewall Jackson]], General J. E. B. Stuart was a legendary figure and is considered one of the greatest cavalry commanders in American history. His friend from his federal army days, Union Major General [[John Sedgwick]], said that Stuart was "the greatest cavalry officer ever foaled in America."<ref>Wert, pp. 371–72.</ref> Jackson and Stuart, both of whom were killed in battle, had colorful public images, although the latter's seems to have been more deliberately crafted. Wert wrote about Stuart:

{{blockquote|Stuart had been the Confederacy's [[knight-errant]], the bold and dashing cavalier, attired in a resplendent uniform, plumed hat, and cape. Amid a slaughterhouse, he had embodied chivalry, clinging to the pageantry of a long-gone warrior. He crafted the image carefully, and the image befitted him. He saw himself as the Southern people envisaged him. They needed a knight; he needed to be that knight.<ref>Wert, p. 370.</ref>}}

Stuart's birthplace, Laurel Hill, located in [[Patrick County, Virginia]], was purchased by the J.E.B. Stuart Birthplace Preservation Trust, Inc., in 1992 to preserve and interpret it.<ref>[http://www.freestateofpatrick.com/Laurelhill Laurel Hill website] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090923232809/http://www.freestateofpatrick.com/Laurelhill |date=September 23, 2009 }}.</ref> In December 2006, a personal Confederate battle flag, sewn by Flora Stuart, was sold in a [[Heritage Auctions|Heritage]] Auction for $956,000 (including buyer's premium), a world-record price for any Confederate flag.<ref>''Antique Trader'', December 27, 2006, p1, p. 15 ([https://archive.today/20120527055749/http://americana.heritageauctions.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=642&Lot_No=25448&type= online auction site])</ref> The 34-inch by 34-inch flag was hand-sewn for Stuart by Flora in 1862, and Stuart carried it into some of his most famous battles.

=== Named after Stuart ===
U.S. Route 58, in Virginia, is named the "J.E.B. Stuart Highway". In 1884 the town of Taylorsville, Virginia, was renamed [[Stuart, Virginia|Stuart]]. The [[British Army]] named two models of American-made [[World War II]] tanks, the M3 and M5, the [[M3 Stuart|Stuart tank]] in General Stuart's honor.

The creation of the committee followed the circulation of a petition started by actress [[Julianne Moore]] and [[Bruce Cohen]] in 2016, which garnered over 35,000 signatures in support of changing the school's name to one honoring the late [[United States Supreme Court Justice]] [[Thurgood Marshall]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/24/us/julianne-moore-petition-j-e-b-stuart-school-feat/index.html|title=Julianne Moore: Rename my high school|author=Brandon Griggs|website=CNN|date=August 24, 2015 }}</ref>

On July 27, 2017, the Fairfax County School Board approved a measure to change the school name no later than the start of the 2019 school year. The measure asked that "Stuart High School" be considered as a possibility for the new name.<ref name="WTOP 201707" /> On October 27, 2017, the Fairfax County School Board voted to change the name of J.E.B. Stuart High School to "Justice High School." Board member Sandy Evans from the Mason District said that the name will honor Justice Thurgood Marshall, civil rights leader [[Barbara Rose Johns]], U.S. Army officer [[Louis Gonzaga Mendez Jr.]], and all those who have fought for justice and equality.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://wtop.com/fairfax-county/2017/10/fairfax-co-school-board-votes-new-name-j-e-b-stuart-high/|title=Fairfax Co. school board votes on new name for JEB Stuart High|date=October 27, 2017|website=WTOP|access-date=April 1, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180401212725/https://wtop.com/fairfax-county/2017/10/fairfax-co-school-board-votes-new-name-j-e-b-stuart-high/|archive-date=April 1, 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref>

On June 18, 2018, the school board for [[Richmond Public Schools]] in Richmond, Virginia, voted 6–1 to rename J. E. B. Stuart Elementary School to Barack Obama Elementary School. On June 12, 2018, students of the school were given the opportunity to narrow down the choices for renaming the school from seven to three. Northside Elementary received 190 votes, Barack Obama Elementary earned 166 votes, and Wishtree Elementary received 127 votes. From there, the administration of Richmond Public Schools recommended to the school board that it rename the school after [[Barack Obama]]. [[Jason Kamras|Superintendent Jason Kamras]] said, "It's incredibly powerful that in the capital of the Confederacy, where we had a school named for an individual who fought to maintain slavery, that now we're renaming that school after the first black president. A lot of our kids, and our kids at J. E. B. Stuart, see themselves in Barack Obama." The student population of the newly named Barack Obama Elementary School is made up of more than 90 percent African-American children.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.richmond.com/news/local/education/richmond-s-j-e-b-stuart-elementary-school-honoring-a/article_aceff88e-9404-5b31-8434-bb5b960421e2.html|title=Richmond's J.E.B.
