Harriet Tubman will be the first African American on any U.S. currency. Big deal and excited that powerful people from the African American background are being recognized more. The question that I have though and I am sure that many people have is why the twenty dollar bill? and why remove Andrew Jackson. I think this adds controversy with race because if we were just changing from Andrew Jackson to another white president or white public activist no one would be making a big deal. I'm interested to see if more currency is changed in the years too come following this big change. Who could be next MLK? President Obama? interested to see what controversy and racial issues come along with any more changes.
