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
Why we can't have nice things. Roosevelt & Mankiller are like: Okay great, honor one of us then. https://t.co/NpTLPyDiLR

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
How do we turn this honor (a potential one as it hasn't even happened yet) into an insult? Think it out. Scribble it down. Press Send.

Tubman's face on a bill would be a powerful statement on what US economy was founded on, how far we've come, & how far still to go. #TheEnd

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?
So the bigots & the super conscious blacks are in agreement that nothing would be worse than Harriet Tubman on $20 bill? Okay, that's nice

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...
Put Harriet's beautiful face on all my pocket change too. She did her part to make right what was horribly wrong. Remind us daily of that

There was a time when a black person's money was no good in some establishments. Fast forward to a black woman's face on the money. Whoa!

Key word in that last tweet was "forward". I believe in moving forward. One of the ways we do that is by honoring the BEST of our past.

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.
Imagine the future impact that will have on our not yet born daughters. On our unborn sons too. Immeasurable.

You want to reduce street harassment? Men respect money. Put women on it. Change $20 bill from paper given for lap dance to a testament.

Kids not yet born could have a black man & white woman as most recent Presidents plus a black woman on money. This affects thinking.

Post racial is a dumb phrase but do you know what reduces racism? Respectful exposure. Harder to look down on people in exalted positions.
— Roy Pickering (@AuthorofPatches) May 14, 2015
Most of the impact will not be immediate. Changing mindsets takes time. Some of what we do today is meant to make tomorrow better.
Why would anyone be against that? Those on opposite sides come together sometimes & then cynicism is indistinguishable from ignorance.

Harriet Tubman is #BlackGirlsRock poster child. But don't forget the underground railroad was homes of white abolitionists with conscience.
— Roy Pickering (@AuthorofPatches) May 14, 2015
So Harriet Tubman doesn't only symbolize resistance. She also symbolizes the best of all of humanity in the worst of times.
