and went on to help hundreds of slaves 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 $5 and $10 notes as well, the

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

regarding which woman should be featured on a bill.
