Outrage as Trump delays putting Harriet Tubman on $20 bill until 2026
As a candidate Trump called planned replacement of Andrew Jackson with anti-slavery activist ‘pure political correctness’
Donald Trump’s administration is facing criticism for delaying a move to put the anti-slavery activist Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill.
At a congressional hearing on Wednesday, the treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin, said the planned redesign of the $20, adding Tubman’s face to the bill, will be postponed until after Trump leaves office. Tubman would be the first woman to feature on US banknotes for more than 150 years.
