[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's funny seeing all these people saying yes, yes, yes to this. Most of you haven't heard of her before today. She might have been a great person and all but that fact [b]is this just political correctness because of sex and skin color[/b]. Once again everyone's afraid to say it.[/quote]

Political correctness 100%. I am a minority but I want to see one of the greatest scientists on the bill regardless of skin color and gender. [/quote]

[i]"The decision to put Harriet Tubman on the new $20 was driven by thousands of responses we received from Americans young and old. I have been particularly struck by the many comments and reactions from children for whom Harriet Tubman is not just a historical figure, but a role model for leadership and participation in our democracy. You shared your thoughts about her life and her works and how they changed our nation and represented our most cherished values."[/i]

Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew makes it sound like political correctness didn't have shit to do with it - but instead the feedback of thousands of Americans, particularly children who aren't bigoted stubborn and set in their ways like [b]some[/b] people.[/quote]
