Has “Hamilton” saved Hamilton?

Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator and star of the hit Broadway musical “Hamilton,” said on Wednesday that he had received assurances from Jacob J. Lew, secretary of the Treasury, that admirers of Alexander Hamilton would not be disappointed by a forthcoming redesign of the $10 bill. Mr. Lew has said that he wanted to add a woman’s image to that bill, which now features Hamilton’s portrait. That plan has won support from many, but there have also been complaints from those who don’t want to see Hamilton, the country’s first Treasury secretary, replaced.

It would still be better if they replaced Jackson on the $20, but that's not going to happen.

I think one plan with the $10 is to create two bills, one with Hamilton and one with the woman they choose. Another is to have them share space. Neither of these make me happy from a feminist standpoint. But damnit, I don't want Hamilton gone, either.

There was a big movement to replace Jackson, which would be a great idea, and they changed it into a plan to replace Hamilton because they suck. Not that Hamilton was the best human in the world, but it makes sense for him to be on money. Jackson was just an asshole.

I'd rather see Jackson go. Maybe they're can embrace the power of "and", and have the schuyler sisters... ("work!")
