Proposed redesigns of the American 20 dollar bill: In a campaign called "Women on 20s," selected voters were asked to choose three of 15 female candidates to have a portrait on the $20 bill. The goal was to have a woman on the $20 bill by 2020, the centennial of the 19th Amendment which gave women the right to vote [13]. Among the candidates on the petition were former slave Harriet Tubman, Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, and Wilma [White-] Mankiller, the first female chief of the Cherokee Nation [14].

Harriet Tubman was not a US military spy.
Born into slavery in Maryland in the 1820s, Harriet Tubman's resolute Christian faith would compel her to extraordinary acts of courage and sacrifice.

Through her selfless efforts, hundreds of African-American slaves escaped to freedom. Tubman's tenacious trust in God and love for others earned her the title "the Moses of her people."

What we never knew about Harriet Tubman

(Smithsonian Channel) One of our nation's greatest heroes/heroines, Harriet Tubman led slaves north to freedom via secret paths and waterways, but her skills allegedly also made her a valuable military asset to the Union Army.
