Harriet Tubman wins Women On 20s poll to decide who should be on $20 bill

Harriet Tubman, who was born a slave and organized the Underground Railroad, won a poll to decide which woman should replace President Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill.

Last month, the group Women On 20s began a poll to decide which woman in American history they would support to replace Jackson. The choices were Tubman, Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks and Wilma Mankiller, the first female chief of the Cherokee Nation. Today, the group announced that Tubman came out on top with 118,000 votes or roughly a third of all votes cast.

Therefore, they have written a petition to President Barack Obama to get his support for replacing Jackson.

However, the President can’t just ask for Congress to vote to change the bill. That’s up to the Secretary of the Treasury, Jack Lew, to do. New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen already introduced the Women on the Twenty Act, which asks Lew to create a citizens panel to decide on changes to the $20.

Women on 20s hopes to get the $20 bill changed by 2020 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which finally gave women the right to vote.

HBO is also probably secretly hoping it gets done by the time their Viola Davis-starring Tubman biopic.
