Ask the Treasury Department to eliminate Jackson on the 20 dollar bill!

Created by J.M. on April 20, 2016

Abolitionist and humanitarian Harriet Tubman has been selected to grace the front of the $20 bill. It's also been announced that Jackson will move to the back of the bill rather than be eliminated entirely.

This is unacceptable. Jackson's image minimizes and dismisses his history as a brutal slave owner and trader, committed to slavery and to the ethnic cleansing of Native Americans.

Noted historian Daniel Walker Howe writes that Jackson, "expressed his loathing for the abolitionists vehemently, both in public and in private." He is the antithesis of everything Tubman's life represents. Remove him for the $20 completely!
