I understand the motivation, but she was Harriet Tubman, not a movie star. If anything, the image already tweaks her a bit - the nose is a bit off from the historical pictures available.

Anti-slavery activist Harriet Tubman won’t appear on US currency for nearly a decade, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Wednesday.
An image of Tubman, a former slave who helped others escape to freedom through the Underground Railroad, was supposed to replace President Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill next year.
“The primary reason we’ve looked at redesigning the $20 bill is for counterfeiting issues,” Mnuchin said in front of Congress on Wednesday.
“Based upon this, the new $20 bill will now not come out until 2028,” he added.
President Trump criticized the plan to replace Jackson on the note during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Ronald Reagan can go on the $20 bill and eventually Barack Obama can go on the $3 bill.
Gun toting CHRISTIAN Republican!
>>Will cash still be allowed in 2028?
Why bother, world end by 2031. #GlobalHysteria
I believe that the Three Dollar Bill Clinton has already been taken. (Obama can have the change.)
Tweak it a bit by giving her the face of a young Pam Grier and keep the gun.
Yes, and "snowflake" can be a term to describe not just fragile millennial leftists... Triggering away!
DARN
It’s all very queer
> Nice to see a gun-toting Republican on a bill. <
Yes. Harriet Tubman was a remarkable woman. As you said, she was a gun-toting Republican. She was also a spy for the United States Army. That took great courage!
But here’s the problem. Should Tubman be honored with a place on a U.S. bill, all of that would be ignored. Instead the Left would paint her as an anti-white heroine.
The Left is going to do what the Left is going to do.
We in the Right need to get off our keyboards and back into education, to teach the real history of EVERYTHING, Harriet Tubman or otherwise.
Jackson hated central bankers. They want him off the bill.
Can we really call Harriet tub MAN? Shouldn’t we call her tub person? And does TUB body shame her, er him , er, zer...
Harriet Tubman is worthy of respect. But there is -far- more reason to have Jackson on US currency than Tubman.
How do you figure she was a Republican?
> Shouldn’t be on there at all. <
I must respectfully disagree. Tubman was a bold believer in freedom, and the use of firearms to defend that freedom. And she risked her life as a spy for the Union army. She also understood that the GOP was the party that best represented what she believed. That’s why she was a Republican.
Does that put Tubman in the same rank as the Founders? No, not at all. But as I see it, it does make her eligible for consideration on a bill.
Side point: If the PC folks demand diversity on U.S. currency, then give them Tubman. And give them Tubman’s story.
> This is the Tubman I’d proudly have in my wallet <
Damn right!
I agree, you could do a lot worse.
