[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long have we had to look at Andrew Jackson's face on $20 bills? No one has ever even thought twice about how many native Americans died because of his Indian Removal Act (and it was in the thousands, and many were my relatives as I'm 1/4 Cherokee). We can't change history by obliterating names and images. They stand as reminders of what should never happen again. [/quote] You know that the $20 is being changed to feature Harriet Tubman, right? Many people thought twice about having him, which is what lead to the successful campaign to have him replaced. I can remember someone's name and their role in history, without celebrating them by naming things after them or putting them on money. For example, I strongly believe that Hitler and the Holocaust should never be forgotten, but I'd be horrified if someone made a stamp with Hitler's face. [/quote]
