escape, would take the centre spot on the bill, while Jackson, a slave owner,
would move to the back. Introduced alongside a __(12)__of changes to the

aperture to reflect more of America’s history”, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew
said. A new $10 bill will add images of five female leaders of the women’s __(13)__
movement, including Sojourner Truth and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, to the back,
while keeping founding father Alexander Hamilton on the front. The reverse of a
new $5 note will show former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt and civil rights
leader Martin Luther King Jr., officials said. Former President Abraham Lincoln
will remain on the front. Mr. Lew said the designs should be unveiled __(14)__2020
and go into circulation “as quickly as possible,” although he declined to say
when. He said the $10 bill was scheduled to go out first, citing security needs.
The long-awaited decision to __(15)__ the seventh president of the
United States with Tubman followed months of outreach by the Treasury regarding
which woman should be featured on a bill.
