Who will it be? - IceWizard - 06-18-2015
A woman will appear on redesigned $10
bill in 2020. Who will it be?
Will it be Susan B. Anthony or Harriet Tubman?
Eleanor Roosevelt or Rosa Parks? Or another
important woman from American history? These will be among the names the nation
ponders after the Obama administration’s
announcement late Wednesday that a woman
will be featured on the $10 bill, the first time in
well over a century that a female portrait will
grace the United States’ paper money. The redesigned bill will be unveiled in 2020 to
celebrate the 100th anniversary of the right of
women to vote. The Treasury Department is
launching a massive public campaign to solicit
suggestions through social media and town
halls for what the bill should look like and who should be on it. The only requirements for
candidacy are that the woman be deceased
and embody the theme of the bill’s new look:
“Democracy.â€

That is neato. Rosa Parks would be my guess. Even though she stole the idea from another woman.

LOL. That's the 1st one that came to my mind too Charon. Hey, IF she becomes the next Pres., I guess she could put herself on there. And hell, we already live in a dictatorship.
