Putting Harriet Tubman on the $20 Bill is an INSULT to her legacy

Putting Harriet Tubman on the $20 Bill is an INSULT to her legacy

There is no one who deserves to be in the front of American currency than Harriet Tubman. She is a founding mother of our nation… Not the country born in 1776 that had a distorted, warped version of what “freedom for all” means, but when our nation took its first real steps to grant freedom to all during the Civil War.
