Shouldn't it now only be worth $15.40?



That's not 3/5 of 20$

The treasury missed an opportunity here. Tubman will get white SJWs excited but I don't think the black community really gives a shite.

Should have gone with Michael Jordan, Tupac, OJ, or Trayvon.

$5 bill will also be redesigned to include opera singer Marian Anderson, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.

Just the other day, it occurred to me that we didn't have any opera singers on our currency... Glad that has been taken care of.
Thanks Treasury, for correcting that oversight.
Now, about the pictures of pole dancers...

Smh. You're supposed to be outraged and then express disdain for people being outraged by things that don't outrage you.

The Cherokee Nation has issued a statement...



Statement from Cherokee Nation Principal Chief regarding the U.S. Department of the Treasury's decision to remove Andrew Jackson from the front of the $20 bill and replace him with abolitionist Harriet Tubman.
"Andrew Jackson defied a U.S. Supreme Court ruling and forced the removal of our Cherokee ancestors from homelands we'd occupied in the Southeast for millennia. His actions as president resulted in a genocide of Native Americans and the death of about a quarter of our people. It remains the darkest period in the Cherokee Nation’s history.
Jackson's legacy was never one to be celebrated, and his image on our currency is a constant reminder of his crimes against Natives. It's been an insult to our people and to our ancestors, thousands of whom died of starvation and exposure and now lie in unmarked graves along the Trail of Tears. This is a small but meaningful vindication for them, and for our tribal citizens today.
The Cherokee Nation applauds the work of Oklahoma Senator James Lankford, the U.S. Treasury and all those who recognized the injustices committed at the hands of President Jackson and worked to replace his image with the image of Harriet Tubman, whose legacy represents values everyone can be proud of."
