That would make room for figures such as Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman and Martin Luther King, Jr. Or, in the footsteps of Japan, start including important American scientists and artists, such as the Wright Brothers, Neil Armstrong, Grace Hopper, Rachel Carson, Richard Feynman, Carl Sagan, Toni Morrison,&nbsp; Louisa May Alcott, the list goes on and on.</p><p><br /></p><p>Including sports figures who also made cultural or public contributions would also bring a lot of attention to circulating money. Some prominent names include Jim Thorpe, Jackie Robinson, Roberto Clemente, Jesse Owens, Muhammad Ali, Lou Gehrig, and this list could go on and on as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>A new approach to currency may make it more relevant to today&#039;s rather history illiterate public. Though it would be hard to replace Lincoln in particular. Maybe keep him.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
