Results: Replacing Figures on US Currency
It was recently announced that Harriet Tubman will replace Andrew Jackson, who forcibly relocated Native Americans, on $20 bills starting in the 2020's. Eleanor Roosevelt, the Rev. M.L.King and Marian Anderson will be on the back of a $5 bill, commemorating Anderson's historic concert at the Lincoln Memorial, and Dr. King's "I have a dream" speech there 15 years later.
