Happy Harriet Tubman Day!! #WomensHistoryMonth #Tubmanstamp
March 10 is Harriet Tubman Day!! A time to honor and remember this incredible American. Maybe 2021 we will finally see her put on the $20 bill. At this point though let’s put her on the $100. We should be switching all our currency up.
For 2020 CNN posted a nice timeline of Harrit Tubman’s life:
More than a dozen times in her life, she sacrificed her freedom to travel back to
Maryland where she had escaped. And by doing so, she changed the course of American history.Since 1990, the US celebrates her achievements on March 10 — Harriet Tubman Day.
Here’s a timeline of a remarkable life.
A few other Tubman posts from the Adafruit Blog:
- Why isn’t Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill yet?
- The Mystery of Harriet Tubman’s Family Cabin
- Harriet Tubman stamp on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History
- Newly Discovered Photograph of Harriet Tubman Goes on Display
If you are tired of waiting for the treasury to do the right thing you can make your own Harriet bills. Maybe have a stamping party to commemorate the day?
