She is historically minor figure except as a symbol.

The idea of her replacing Andrew Jackson on a $20 bill, seems to me outrageous. Indeed, I felt outraged on reading of the announcement, even though I had already heard it intimated.

Gotta quote BLUE CHEER: “What will it take - to whip you into line - a broken heart? - a broken head ? - It can be arranged - it can be arranged”

I think they’re breaking our heads with this one.

Not to the slaves she helped free.

They're probably "historically minor" too.

And she was, by your admittance, a historically major symbol. Which is a pretty neat trick for someone who was supposedly actually a historically minor figure, since history itself is largely the assessment of symbols.

But hey, carry on. For example, did she have bad breath?
