Treasury: Harriet Tubman will replace Andrew Jackson on $20 bill
In the Women on 20s grassroots campaign, which inspired bills in the
House and the Senate, Harriet Tubman came out the frontrunner to replace President Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill, after more than 600,000 people cast ballots.
Harriet Tubman escaped slavery to become a leading abolitionist; she rescued hundreds of enslaved people through the Underground Railroad, helped John Brown recruit men for the Harpers Ferry raid and advocated for women's suffrage.
