Someday we will be over the firsts of this or that then maybe we will learn to just judge people by their merits other than making a mark in the history books.
It was first suggested that Alexander Hamilton be removed from the Ten dollar bill. To me, the replacement would have to jump a high bar.
Well, Arriet Tubman
is on the road to replace Andrew Jackson on the $20.
I could find no more fitting change in our currency.
It gives me joy to hear from the Trumped who historically shares some of Jackosn's less honorable traits.
Trump: Tubman on the $20 bill is 'pure political correctness'
(CNN)Donald Trump thinks anti-slavery icon Harriet Tubman is "fantastic" -- but he says the move to have her replace seventh president Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill is "pure political correctness."
Harriet Tubman will be face of $20

"Well, Andrew Jackson had a great history, and I think it's very rough when you take somebody off the bill," Trump said during a town hall on the "Today" show on NBC Thursday morning. "I think Harriet Tubman is fantastic, but I would love to leave Andrew Jackson or see if we can maybe come up with another denomination."
Trump suggested -- as Ben Carson also has -- that Tubman be put on the $2 bill, which is no longer printed.
Coming from a guy who most likey never cracked a History book or held a $2 dollar bill in his hand.
For the Firebrand Ann. Maybe Pesach made me so enthusiastic.

No big uproar over the announcement among my co- workers. Then again, I don't remember being consulted on any of the other bills. I think they so a vote for stamps from time to time.
If they had asked, I would have voted to put her on the $25 bill.

I remember when they did the survey for the choices.
I voted for Mankiller, myself. My niece threatened to dis-own me if I didn't.
They can change the faces on the bills all they want, for all I care. Long as the numbers on the corner don't Change, I'm good with it.
