Paper currency reflects America's values, including respect for Native Americans and African Americans. We urge removal of Jackson from the $20 before Hamilton from the $10.
Why is this important?
Treasury confirmed on June 17 that Alexander Hamilton and not Andrew Jackson will be the first paper currency changed to reflect America's beautiful diversity. But how can the Treasury not see the hypocrisy in retaining an avowed racist on the $20? Andrew Jackson despised Native Americans. He coerced (or deceived) proud Native American tribes to move west of the Mississippi ("The Trail of Tears"). His actions triggered the death of over 46,000 Native Americans while fostering expansion of slavery in the South. Tell Treasury and Congress our currency reflects American values. Tell them their first change to currency should be the removal of Jackson from the $20.
