United States history was made on Wednesday when Treasury Secretary Jack Lew announced on Wednesday that Alexander Hamilton will remain on the front of the $10 bill, while Harriet Tubman will replace Andrew Jackson on the $20.
Politico was first to share the news.
Per the report, Jackson may still remain on the $20, but it would be on the back. Politico added, “Lew is expected to roll out a set of changes that also include putting leaders of the women’s suffrage movement on the back of the $10 bill, and incorporating civil rights era leaders and other important moments in American history into the $5 bill.”
There will also be various other women and civil rights leaders on the redesigned bills.
It’s safe to say this is a great moment for progress.
