Davis International Baccalaureate Elementary School in Jackson, Miss., photographed Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2017, is shedding the name of Jefferson Davis, the Confederacy's only president and will instead be named for Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the United States. In a move proposed by parents, the school with 98 percent African-American enrollment is slated to be renamed for Obama, starting next academic year. The PTA president announced the planned change at a school board meeting Tuesday. (AP Photo/Emily Wagster Pettus)
