Harriet Tubman isn’t the only African-American or woman to get historic face time on U.S. currency.
In addition to Tubman landing the $20 bill, Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew also announced today that Sojourner Truth, Marian Anderson andDr. Martin Luther King Jr. will be added to bills as well.

Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Alice Paul
