Speaking of appropriate images on U.S. currency honoring women, we think the following may help tell a more complete story about what is important:
First up is one commemorating Michelle O when she found out she was not going to be on the ubiquitous twenty-dollar bill. Showing outrage over effrontery is good for the American soul. And after all who has done more for race relations and civil rights than this “other half” of the Obama administration?
But good ol’ Jake Lew at Treasury has proposed a fitting tribute to Michelle as a follow-up. It has been dubbed the “vacation bill” also known as “Michelle’s walk’n around money”
But the Obama administration really missed the boat — on currency currency. What better way to honor historic women of achievement in the field of civil rights than Bruce Catlyn Jenner – Olympic gold medal winner and true trail blazer.
