We want King on the $20 bill!
Martin Luther King Jr. is a universally beloved icon and one of the most recognizable Americans in history. Andrew Jackson was responsible for one of the greatest systematic deportations and state-sanctioned genocides in history.
Which guy do you really want on your $20 bill?
Replacing Jackson with King would add diversity to our bills, not just through race but by honoring a man who proved you didn't have to grease the system's wheels to be a leader.
Enough honor for a mass murderer. Tell the Federal Reserve: We want a civil rights leader on our 20s, not a president who participated in ethnic cleansing!

Why is this important?
It's appalling that the same man who forced almost 50,000 Native Americans off their lands and forced them on a death march is still honored on our currency.
