Does anyone else think it's shameful that the face on the $20 bill is that of the biggest perpetrator of genocide in US history? I mean, I realize the others aren't so innocent either, with 2 others being slaveowners. And I realize Jackson was not the only president whose policies were responsible for the killing of indigenous people. He, did, however, defy a supreme court ruling to do so, and I think the Trail of Tears, more than any other incident, is truly symbolic of the injustice incurred upon the native population. I have heard that many Native Americans will refuse to handle $20's. So, who else thinks it's time to change the face on the $20 bill?
