Harriet Tubman to Replace Jackson on $20 Bill: Report | TheBlaze.com

Harriet Tubman to Replace Jackson on $20 Bill: Report | TheBlaze.com:

"Treasury Secretary Jack Lew will announce that 19th century African-American civil rights activist Harriet Tubman will replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill, a Treasury official said Wednesday.

The announcement will come after Secretary Lew suggested over the weekend that potential modifications were on the way.

CNN reported Monday that Lew had decided to keep Alexander Hamilton on the $10 bill, and instead replace the seventh president’s portrait on the $20 bill with a woman who represents the struggle for racial equality.

Treasury officials declined to comment on the CNN report at the time"
