Personally, I don't think Jackson deserves to be celebrated. But taking him of the $20 would just encourage further iconoclasm.

Scrap all the politicians. Replace by composers and lyricists of the Golden Age of your popular music: the Gershwins, Porter, Berlin, Rodgers & Hart; Scott Joplin, W C Handy, Duke Ellington, Fats Waller & Andy Razaf; Dorothy Fields.
