    I'm all for it. She is a major player in our history of slavery and abolition of it.

    My mistake. I did a quick Google search and posted the first number I saw. It might have been Wiki.

    And how many others on currency were law breakers?

    Plus, I have no problem with the laws she broke. Perhaps you think the laws in favor of owning another human being were just, but I do not.

    And everyone who fought in the Revolutionary War was a law breaker. Shall we remove George Washington from our currency?

    Helping others to flee the bondage of slavery and beatings was/is only considered a crime by those that feel other humans should be property owned by others. Harriet Tubman broke no laws against humanity.

    The $5, $10, and $20 are all going to be reworked. Lincoln and Hamilton are going to stay on the front of the $5 and $10 though. The $20 is going to be the only one where Jackson gets relegated to the back and the front is replaced with Tubman. Which I agree is the correct decision.

    So Harriet Tubman didn't contribute anything to America in your opinion?
