But I am objecting to the President’s recent proposal to remove Harriet Tubman as the new Symbol on our 20-Dollar bill.  The struggle to eliminate slavery as an institution and the subsequent turmoil of Civil Rights for all citizens up until, and including this very day, have made a huge impact on our nation and its history.
