Have the Treasury Department place Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill instead of placing her on the $10 bill.

Created by J.S. on March 11, 2016

Harriet Tubman, as a hero of the abolitionist movement should replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill rather than replacing Alexander Hamilton on the $10 bill. Harriet Tubman was a champion of the abolition movement and as such represented the best that this country aspires to. Andrew Jackson the current occupant of the $20 bill was a champion of genocide against the native tribes in the southeast and a supporter of slavery, values which we as a country should not support or honor with a place on the most used piece of currency in the country. Additionally Hamilton was an early supporter of manumission (freedom for slaves) as a member of the New York Manumission Society. Keep Hamilton, replace Jackson.
