It has been brought to the attention of the fans (MJFam) on Twitter by our good friend, Sahar (@HAUSofMJ), who had attended this school from 1994-1996, that the authorities at Gardner Street School had decided to cover the name "Michael Jackson" on the G.S.S. Auditorium (which was renamed Michael Jackson Auditorium on October 11, 1989) sign during the time when child abuse/molestation allegations were made against him in 2003. However, after his acquittal, the cover has not been taken off. And even after his death, no action has been instigated to literally "clear" his name by taking down the plywood boxes (LosAngelesHistorian.com)
On October 11, 1989, Gardner Street School in LA, California had gotten its school auditorium renamed as "Michael Jackson Auditorium" in honor of Michael Jackson who had once attended this school for a short period of time in 1970 when the Jackson family moved to California.
