Artist places Harriet Tubman on $20 bills, despite Trump's ambivalence

There’s a familiar face in town and it’s covering America’s seventh president’s face on a number of $20 bills: Harriet Tubman.

Advocates have long sought to have Tubman — a woman born into slavery on a plantation in Dorchester County, Maryland and would later escape to guide over 300 other slaves to freedom – replace Andrew Jackson’s on the $20 bill by 2020. The Obama administration proposed placing Tubman’s face on the $20 bill in 2020 as part of an effort to have women on U.S. currency.

Wall has been manufacturing stamps with Tubman’s face since 2017, according to the Washington Post, which first reported the story. “There has understandably been a sudden flood of interest in Harriet Tubman stamps since Steven Mnuchin’s announcement this week – I immediately sold out of everything I had in stock,” Wall said in a Facebook post. “I am working on increasing production to meet demand and will get more in stock in the coming weeks, so keep an eye on the Etsy shop.”

If she was white sure let’s rush and do this but she’s black and a historical figure so let’s not. We need poc on money for a chance because we have done a lot of great things. Martin Luther king should be on one and Obama just name some off the top of my head.

Trump probably wants his ugly face on a bill !

Obama’s Joke, putting an obscure historical figure on the 20$ bill!! Hahahahaha So PC!! There are Hundreds of other Historic Americans that deserve the Honor!! How about Reagan!!

If they put that scary looking woman on a $20 bill I will only accept $10 Bill's. Too damn ugly.

His 'ambivalence'? Please ABC cut it out with the journalistic tapdance of trying to appear neutral. This is a giant FU to black people meant only to please his violent racist supporters and you know it

Digital era the principe is secular and sovereign he is not constrained he can’t constraint the restoration of enlightenment in the person of Alexander Hamilton the very first president of the union states spirit of law the decision have been made YKUTCZFOOKOO

That’s right. The next president has it covered! Joe Biden 2020!!

Print commemorative bills as they have done with coins.

Impeach this racist before America revolts...please understand their are more Anti-trump supporters and non racist followers, then those who supports Trump..we have them beat by a 64% margin..compared to his 36% that approves his doings.

Andrew Jackson was a great American, but he CHOSE to fight for a side that enslaved people. Harriet Tubman also a great American tried to free those people. Trump administration chooses the enslave side once again. Why is anyone surprised by this.👎👎👎😟😟😟

How about getting rid of all the faces on currency.

I stand with Trump and will defend him

keep it the way it is maybe a 25 dollar bill is in the making

Does anybody else see the danger in inadvertently splitting our currency? No self-respecting trump supporter would ever touch an HT20. Can we pause for a moment and consider the ramifications?....... okay, I'm in.

For a year, they , MSM ran with this story.. Now, silence..They are the Enemy of the people...

Going to say this again... Harriet Tubman was nominated for US currency MULTIPLE times in the last 4-5 DECADES... Not one single President has ever pushed it forward. So why you crying about Trump and trying to make HIM look racist when you didn't have crap to say about others?

I only want presidents on our money, not random people.

Harriet Tubman is part of our History. ❤ She has a right and deserves a place on our American currency. 💵 She has made more of a difference for our country then Trump ever will. He needs to be abolished as President. 🙏 He is making a mockery of this country & its people. 🇺🇸

Hope they never change a great thing.

Why not this instead...

Wasn't Obama President for 8 years? Where was he on this? Why doesn't ABC and the artist call him out? More

Neither was the Obama administration in a hurry to do it. Hopefully the change will happen.

Ivanka, should be on currency.

If we do a $20 let's make it this one

Put her on a $100 bill this is history

The bills are for the founding fathers of this country 👍🇺🇸🇮🇱

donald is one very weird awkward person.
