Would love to see Harriet Tubman on currency. A slave, Union spy, the only woman to lead daring raids that set fires to plantations and free approximately 750 slaves. All while navigating a river mined by the Confederacy and mapped by Ms. Tubman. She couldn't read nor write and yet outperform every general north or south.
