New Face for the $10 Bill?

By John Shabe

We honor George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and several other important Americans by putting their pictures on our money. Now, James McKnight of Atlanta, Georgia, thinks it's time to put a new face on one of our bills. He is asking the U.S. government to put the face of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., on our ten-dollar bill.

Dr. King fought for equal rights for African-Americans. On January 16, we have a holiday to celebrate his birthday. McKnight said that putting Dr. King on the ten-dollar bill is another good way to honor him.

Right now, Alexander Hamilton, who helped create our Constitution, is on the ten-dollar bill. Congress will decide whether or not to change the bill.
