Remove images of slave owners G. Washington, T. Jefferson, and A. Hamilton from American currency and coins.

Created by W.D. on November 14, 2012

The images of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Alexander Hamilton should be removed from American currency, paper money, and coins because they were all slave owners. It's hard to teach kids that slavery was wrong when they pay for their school lunch with the faces of slave owners. These images could be replaced with Dr. MLK, President Reagan, Amelia Earhart, Neil Armstrong, etc.
