1. I agree.

He was the founding father of our Civil Rights Movement.

Words fail me when I try to describe everything that he has done.

We still have much work to do.

5. What would denomination would be appropriate?
Short of making up a new coin or bill, someone would have to be replaced.:shrug:

7. Well, most bills and coins are doubled up...
Washington is on the dollar and the quarter.
Lincoln is on the nickle and the sawbuck.

etc.

Somebody would have to lose one or the other... I don't think
Lincoln would mind for example.

6. You are so right...
and I truly think that Black History Month should be more than 28 days (29 counting leap year). I think it should be in August. That 's about the only month doesn't have a holiday in it.:hi:
