This is what I was hoping for.
The Indians have wanted this for years. Jackson is not one of their favorites to put it mildly. And only this president would let this happen
Three cheers for Lin-Manuel Miranda and the Broadway smash Hamilton.
I understand that he personally lobbied for this.
Never let whitey forget how evil we were and still are!
Sacajawea would hav made more sense.
What an amazing coincidence!
A new face on the on the bill just before an election!
But, just what did Harriet ever do for me?
This is what I was hoping for.
Next up...Michael Brown on the hundred!
“knock Andrew Jackson off the front of the $20 in favor of Harriet Tubman”
They couldn’t find anyone more important in history, than Tubman?
They tried this with Susan B. Anthony, remember.
And not to soon, paper money will go the way of the silver and gold certificates.
I’m fine with it.
Out with the Democrat - Jackson the racist slave owner
In with the Republican - Tubman the freedom fighter
Let us never forget to remind - it was the Republicans who ended slavery, the abolitionists were Republicans, as were most of the civil rights leaders of the 1960s
$1 Washington - Federalist
$2 Jefferson - Democratic-Republican (in their day they were simply referred to as Republicans)
$5 Lincoln - Republican
$10 Hamilton - Federalist
$20 Jackson - Democrat
$20 Tubman - Republican
$50 Grant - Republican
$100 Franklin - no party
$1000 Wilson - Democrat (bills no longer printed)
So they have eliminated the last Democrat on any currently issued bill.
Soon we shall be Democrat free.
That’s Gun-Toting Republican Harriet Tubman, please.
Clara Barton or Sacajawea would have been better choices.
I nominate William Shockley, co-inventor of the bipolar junction transistor.
Jackson’s one of the few Democrats I actually like.
Never helped free slaves - only slaves she did help were her own relatives and some that she knew very well. Perhaps maybe thirty in total. The highest reward offered for her was $100. Maybe she should have been put on a hundred dollar bill instead.
I will be demanding $10 bills for my change!
Great, now the street name for a $20 will be the Tubby.
