Harriet Tubman is set to replace Andrew Jackson on the United States $20 bill. This signifies great progress in terms of women's rights as Harriet Tubman will be the only woman on a dollar bill and racial rights, as Harriet Tubman will be the first African American to be on U.S. paper currency. This is a huge step, but some people are saying that it is unnecessary. Perhaps it is unnecessary, but it is extremely welcome, as Harriet Tubman did more for the United States as a whole than Andrew Jackson ever did.
