And take William McKinley off of it?
Removing Jackson is fine. It was an inside slight towards to the man to put him on a Federal Reserve Note anyway since he was such an opponent to a national bank.
And Tubman is a good choice. In fact, we should be changing the notes more frequently, not once every 90 years. I would say to keep Washington on the $1 note, but everyone else is changeable.
Was Tubman's contribution to our nation's history as significant and indispensable as any of the men whose portraits now appear on our currency? No, it was not.

In other words, every few years we'll be replacing Founding Fathers and other historically significant figures with politically correct footnotes to history. Here's a likely scenario: out with Franklin, in with Cesar Chavez or Harvey Milk on the $100. No thanks.
