Oscar winners push to change high school's Confederate name

Two Oscar winners — actress Julianne Moore and producer Bruce Cohen — are leading an effort to change the name of their old high school, which honors a Confederate general.

The two Hollywood bigwigs started a Change.org petition to rename J.E.B. Stuart High School in Fairfax, Va., for Thurgood Marshall, the Supreme Court justice who represented the NAACP in the historic Brown v. Board of Education case that desegregated public schools. Marshall also lived close to the school during his time as a Supreme Court justice, according to the petition.
