Will trade a Benjamin for five Tubmans












When I saw this article I was a little surprised but mostly disappointed that some people seem to find the negative angle in everything. WHY WE SHOULD KEEP HARRIET TUBMAN AND ROSA PARKS OFF THE $20 BILL



More negative reaction to idea of Harriet Tubman on $20 bills.  Keep Harriet Tubman – and all women – off the $20


Yet another think piecer who doesn't see the wisdom in putting Harriet Tubman on US currency - HARRIET TUBMAN ON THE $20 BILL IS CHUMP CHANGE




So we only want people on $ bills who were pro slavery, anti woman, members of ruling class? No matter how much has changed & how much change we're still striving for, we want to cling to the ugly past and not acknowledge those who fought for a greater America?




As for me, I can think of no one more worthy than Harriet Tubman for the honor. Her legacy IS America. She should be on $1, $5, $10, $20...









Women were 2nd class citizens in the US way too long. Still not caught up. Imagine Hillary in the White House & Harriet on the $20. Go on, do it.










Most of the impact will not be immediate. Changing mindsets takes time. Some of what we do today is meant to make tomorrow better.
