There are only 6 denomination of US currency and about 10,000 people who wish were on them. Why Harriet Tubman whom I had never heard of before? Reminds of third world countries where the first thing they change after a coup is to put the new guy on the currency.
Really? And you graduated from High School? Serious question. If you made it through all 12 years of schooling and never heard of Harriet Tubman, then that is a sad example of how this country's education system has been failing for a very long time.

What? You never heard of Harriet Tubman before? Forget about currency, folks. We have a bigger problem.
American history is not taught with the importance it used to be. I bet a lot of younger people have never heard of her.
Sadly, very very true. When my son was in HS his US history teacher did try, to his credit. He loved having my son because he'd been doing Living History and reenactment with me since he was little. And he knew his history. Only one other student in the class was as knowledgeable, and he and his folks were also in our group. We were cavalry and they were artillery.
We did a couple good presentations in character at the invitation of the teacher. But for the most part US history starts much much later, bypassing the Revolution, maybe touching on the Civil War,and then skipping to the 1960s. You'd be hard pressed to find any student in HS who know who Harriet Tubman was. Or John Brown or Frederick Douglas.
