To the Point
Who Was the "Real" Harriet Tubman? Slaveholder Andrew Jackson will be replaced on the $20 bill by Harriet Tubman , the former slave turned abolitionist. But how much do Americans know about her? Harriet Tubman, c. 1895 Susan B. Anthony has been on a $1 coin, but Harriet Tubman will be the first black woman to appear on American currency. Her face will replace Andrew Jackson's on the $20 bill. Who was Harriet Tubman, and who was she not? Kate Clifford Larson, author of Bound for the Promised Land: Harriet Tubman, Portrait of an American Hero , separates the myths from the reality.
