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 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.
