Don't bet on seeing a Harriet Tubman $20 bill anytime soon because the redesigned bill bearing her face, which was supposed to debut next year, will not be coming out for nearly a decade … because _____.
Tubman, who was born into slavery and became a noted abolitionist and political activist, would be the first black woman to have her face on U.S. currency and would appear in 2020 to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote.
While running for office, _____ said he did not support putting Tubman on the 20, calling the plan "pure political correctness" and saying they should put Tubman on the oh-so-popular "$2 bill".
_____ is a huge fan of slave owning Andrew Jackson so, yeah, there’s that. Racist.
UPDATE: someone has made a Harriet Tubman stamp and is stamping her face over Jackson’s on the bill. I want one!
