Thoughts on Harriet Tubman being added to the $20 bill?
At first I was disappointed that Andrew Jackson is staying on the bill, given his prominent role in genocide, not to mention his own slave-holding (how kind to pair him with the abolitionist Tubman). But some anonymous commenter made sense of it to me: Genocide and slave-holding are a major part of American history, one that we should regret but not forget. Scrubbing Jackson's image from our currency would be to pretend that those events never happened. Putting these two figures on the same bill gives us a chance to remember the best and worst of our past at once, so that we can be a better nation in our future.
