    I recognized all the names except Alice Paul; I had to look her up in Wikipedia.

    Sojourner Truth is a bit of a dilemma, as that was not her birth name.

    Sojourner Truth was named Isabella ("Bell") Baumfree when she was born. She gave herself the name Sojourner Truth in 1843. [Wikipedia]

    Hard not to get political, so I'll just say I'm not a fan of one of those ladies. The others are... meh. I don't see any that deserve (IMHO) to be on U.S. Currency.

    I only knew about Rosa Parks (she's famous outside of the US as well!) and as a symbol of the civil rights movement, she's an excellent candidate in my opinion.

    Eh, maybe Commemorative coin, but still not currency. Again, just my $0.02 (pardon the pun).

    If they do change it, people will start hoarding the Andrew Jackson's. I hope they don't change it. If it's not broken, don't fix it.

    Susan B. Anthony
    The lady on one of the dollar coin at one point. I have some of them!
    How would she look on the 20$ bill ;)

    I'll pick Alice Paul because she the only one close enough to looking like lady liberty.

    I'm sorry, but I read sarcasm in some of the responses. Just as Susan B. Anthony was over due on the $1 coin, with gender equality, why not a woman on one of our paper money bills. Now I don't think this is in the near future, or so I say, but if it is to happen, a woman who made an enormous impact in US history and human rights should go on it. Therefore if it we were asked to a vote for one, either Sojourner Truth or Rosa Parks would get mine. Both put their life on the line for the rights they felt were deserved.

    Benjamin Franklin was not a President.

    Alexander Hamilton was not a President.

    He was a president of Pennsylvania, but back in those days that was kind of like being a governor.
