Harriet Tubman Wins Unofficial Vote to Be on $20 Bill - Women on 20s, an organization that recently petitioned to get a woman’s face on the $20 bill, started an unofficial campaign to change the face of your money. Nearly 120,000 people voted to have Harriet Tubman replace Andrew Jackson. Although the change isn’t official, it’s sparked debates on whether Tubman is the right choice.

Say What? - An incoming teacher at Boston University apologized for her tweets about white college males, which she called a "problem population." "I regret that my personal passion about issues surrounding these events led me to speak about them indelicately," she said in a statement viewed by the Associated Press. "I deprived them of the nuance and complexity that such subjects always deserve." Although she has apologized, several people on Twitter have voiced their support of the professor. (Photo: Fox News)

Formerly Homeless Student Graduates College - Kenneth Chancey didn’t think he’d make it to this point. Just a few years ago, he was a homeless high school student living on Skid Row. But last weekend, the 23-year-old graduated from Loyola Marymount University with a degree in political science. "I climbed here bare-handed," Chancey told ABC News. "And yes it was harder than most people who are given resources, parental support. But it's not impossible." (Photo: KABC-TV, ABC 7, Los Angeles Local News)
