Neither. Put Sandra Day or another woman who was actually a major figure in the American government. They really sell women short when they go for these junior high textbook figures instead of women who actually filled similar roles to the dudes on money.

Neither.



Although Jackson would be appalled by seeing his face on a Federal Reserve Note

Calling Harriet Tubman a junior high textbook figure is a wee bit demeaning

Jackson wouldn't even want to be on the $20.

Why don't they just wait and put Hillary on it? At least we keep the presidential theme, besides ole Ben that is.

And yes, I hate myself for typing that.

I don't care.

Would love to hear some of the anti-Tubman reasons, though

Serious answer - the same reason I wouldn't want Rosa Parks or Helen Keller. I think it should be reserved for people actually involved in government or the revolution.

Leave it be. No reason to take Jackson off the bill in the first place.

At least they caught the hint they shouldn't replace Hamilton for obvious reasons.

I'd go for neither. If we're going with a woman give me someone like Eleanor Roosevelt, who championed a wide array of causes as First Lady and beyond and helped draft the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as an UN ambassador.

Tubman.

These people need to watch the Drunk History on Rosa Parks.

No it isn't. She did some really cool things but was not more important to her causes than many other figures. She was simply branded an icon. The fact that she was a woman in a world of men and black rather than white added to her being that icon. Believe me, she is not the only standard textbook figure that became famous while others just as important were ignored. It is not meant to insult her.
