Harriet Tubman should be remembered as a woman who risked her life over and over to protect the inalienable right of liberty for people who had none.

But that doesn’t diminish Jackson’s accomplishments and so he shouldn’t be usurped to honor her.

My father would not accept a Kennedy 1/2 dollar...he’s throw it on the counter and tell them to give him 2 quarters. If he brought one home, he gave it to me....well not quite, I had to pick it out of the waste basket...he didn’t like Kennedy

Harriet Tubman was a criminal

No criminal should be on currency

This whole thing is a reinforcement of the soft bigotry of low expectations. It’s condescending. Here’s a medal for you just for participating. Leftists and Democrats are the completely opposed to the color-blind society; it takes away their most important weapon to divide and set Americans against one another.

There are far too many Founder greats ahead of her in line. The Tubman stunt is more of an INSULT than anything else.

That is true. However, Tubman lived in the era before Black meant "across the board screaming red" and was a true hero, even if she were not a founder. There's no need to trash her personally because her image is being used.

Jackson was a big government Democrat.

_______________________________________________________

He told the Federal Judiciary to take a hike and torpedoed the moneyed-interests attempt to lay the foundations for a central bank. Jackson had flaws, but “Big Gubmint!” wasn’t one of them.
