The U.S. Treasury's watchdog has confirmed it plans to review the decision behind delaying a new $20 bill featuring Harriet Tubman.
Treasury's Acting Inspector General Rich Delmar said in a letter to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer that the office would include Schumer's request for an investigation focusing on the delay into a broader audit that's about to get underway.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told a congressional committee last month that a redesign of the $20 featuring Tubman would have to be delayed and the new bills would not be out until 2028.
The redesign featuring the abolitionist leader was initially scheduled by the Obama administration to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment giving women the right to vote.

ReplyDeleteWonder if people are opposed to this because she is black or a woman? Or both?
ReplyDelete11:12. Why is she a criminal?
ReplyDelete11:12 Harriet Tubman a criminal? ARE you (TO use YOUR OWN formatting) an IDIOT?
ReplyDeleteI guess I have to do your research for you ? Are you spending too much time on EBT Welfare ? Taubman had numerous WARRENTS for her Arrest by judges back then In 2019 she would be considered a TERRORIST for what she did back then.
DeleteOur founding fathers were treasonous criminals in the eyes of the crown, yet revered in our national history. The Boston Tea Party was treason, yet these men are heroes. By the way the word is warrants not warrents, and we are talking about Tubman not Taubman.
Delete11:12 the confederates were criminals too
ReplyDeleteYou didn't say when it was the Confederate army that helped FREE SLAVERY it was your party the DEMOCRATS that pushed slavery and the KKK.
DeleteWell lets put some of them on money
Delete1:19. You are right. People here really should research her. I really hadn’t paid much attention to this until today and I spent a couple of hours reading about Harriet Tubman’s life story. It’s really remarkable what she managed to do under terrible circumstances. It’s hard to imagine many folks today having the fortitude to accomplish what she did her lifetime.
ReplyDeleteShe was a CRIMINAL but then again the Democratic party is Full of them including Obama who authorised spying on a a republican candidate.
DeleteHere is the better question:
