[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's funny seeing all these people saying yes, yes, yes to this. [b]Most of you haven't heard of her before today. [/b]She might have been a great person and all but that fact is this just political correctness because of sex and skin color. Once again everyone's afraid to say it.[/quote] Is there anyone raised in America who didn't learn about Harriet Tubman in ES? Yes, her selection is definitely due to her sex; there was an explicit decision made to put a woman on currency...to counteract the default decision that assumes a man, any man, is a more obvious choice. I don't think she was selected for her race specifically, though it's true that she wouldn't hold the place in history that she does if she were a white woman and not a former slave.[/quote]
