It was only a matter of time. A New York school has been renamed in honor of President-elect Barack Obama.
The former Ludlum Elementary School, in Long Island's Hempstead Union Free School District, was renamed at a school board meeting Thursday -- effective immediately. The new name is the Barack Obama Elementary School.
School officials say most of the 440 students there are black or Hispanic, and Obama's victory is a source of great pride.
