Alexander Hamiltons, face being removed from the $10 bill, has brought some controversy since the musical has created him into somewhat of a "pop-icon." The success "Hamilton" has brought through broadway makes them second guess the imagery on the bill wether Harriet Tubman should be placed ther so now they're moving her to the $20 bill. The movement of an African American, and the fact she's a woman, is an reflection on the abolitionist movement, civil rights movement and sufferage movement.
