The New Twenty


For John, BLUFWho better to honor on the Double Sawbuck.  Nothing to see here; just move along.



Yes, President Andrew Jackson should be moved off the $20 bill.

I am in favor of this replacement, Harriet Tubman.

Wikipedia says:

Harriet Tubman (born Araminta Ross; c. 1822 – March 10, 1913) was an American abolitionist, humanitarian, and an armed scout and spy for the United States Army during the American Civil War.  Born into slavery, Tubman escaped and subsequently made some thirteen missions to rescue approximately seventy enslaved people, family and friends, using the network of antislavery activists and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad.  She later helped abolitionist John Brown recruit men for his raid on Harpers Ferry, and in the post-war era was an active participant in the struggle for women's suffrage.
