I absolutely never heard of her. I absolutely do not want her on my currency. How about Ronald Reagan — How about a GREAT AMERICAN????
Harriet Tubman belongs in the pantheon of great Americans.
When I initially heard this news about dumping Andrew Jackson from the US $10 bill, my knee-jerk reaction was to be against it. I mean, who wants to see anyone other than Jackson on a US Twenty, right?
But I have no problem per se with a woman being on a piece of US currency, and subsequently, in reviewing Harriet Tubman's biographical sketch, I see that she's just the kind of freedom-loving, staunch individualist American Hero that belongs on our currency. She was also a Republican and an icon of the reason that Americans v alue their Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
IMHO, Tubman is deserving of this honor, and, therefore, just because she happened to be Black doesn't mean that the move necessarily was an act of political correctness. God forbid!
So I don't really see this move as PC or problematic; I see it as deserved recognition of someone who has been overlooked.
On top of that, Andrew Jackson had a good run, and some of his character weaknesses are rather problematic when subjected to close scrutiny. I guess you could say, at the very least, that he's "out of vogue" right now, and during such eras, it's not unusual to find one's image disappearing from national currency notes. I'm sure that in the future Andrew Jackson will popup again somewhere.
Regardless of anything else, however, I'm sure that Harriet Tubman and Andrew Jackson would both be saying "Vote Trump", and they'd both be telling Ted Cruz that it'd be best for both the party and the country if he suspended his upended Presidential campaign...
Vote Trump
You must have slept through your elementary school years.
You may not want to share that fact w/ lots of people. It really makes you look not too bright.
And continue to make it plain as day...
Quit while you can...or educate yourself.
