David, have they said how they're going to change it? Change as in replacing Lincoln? Or just a re-design but keeping him on there?

According to this article, Lincoln will stay on front, with changes to the back. "The back of the new $5 bill, which features Abraham Lincoln on the front, will honor the civil rights movement with depictions of Martin Luther King Jr., Eleanor Roosevelt and black opera singer Marian Anderson, who famously sang on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in 1939."
