As America has become its own nation, we developed our own currency; one that has stayed mostly the same throughout our nation’s history. However, change is coming.

Andrew Jackson has been on the $20 since the 1920’s. This federal-bank-hating man is being replaced by worthier Civil War hero Harriet Tubman. Unfortunately, Jackson won’t be completely taken off of the $20 bill. He will be moved to the back of the bill, even though he was a slave owner when Harriet Tubman was, herself, a slave.

Harriet Tubman was a slave in Virginia until she escaped from her master. After that, she returned to help free about 300 other slaves from the south; she guided them to the north through the Underground Railroad. Tubman truly was a hero, and it’s about time that we honor that.

The Treasury Department has been trying to figure out new faces for our currency for some time now. Originally, they were going to replace the first Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton but, after many protests from the fans of the smash musical Hamilton, they decided to take Jackson out instead.

On the topic of changing the faces of the bills, current Secretary of the Treasury Jack Lew said that “our currency will now tell more of our story.”

These changes will also include the five and ten dollar bills. While Abraham Lincoln and Alexander Hamilton will remain on the front, the backs of the bills will display various other important people in America’s history. The back of the five dollar bill will display Marian Anderson, an African-American classical singer, along with first lady Eleanor Roosevelt and activist Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The back of the ten will feature a depiction of a 1913 suffrage march, along with prominent suffragists Lucretia Mott, Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Alice Paul and Susan B. Anthony. The finalized design for each bill will debut in 2020.

America is known for its fascinating history and now, finally, we’ll be able to display the most important parts of our history for everyone to see.
