The next icon to be
changed is the racist face of Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. Trump had
a picture of the white supremacist Jackson on his desk in the oval
office. According to Wiki "Jackson was responsible for the murder of
thousands of American Indians during their The Trail of Tears exile
initiated by Jackson as part of a series of forced displacements of
approximately
100,000 Native Americans between 1830 and 1850 by the United States
government known as the Indian removal.
Thousands
died before reaching their destinations or shortly after from disease."
The picture on the $20 will be changed to Harriet Tubman. According to Wiki "American abolitionist born into
slavery. Tubman escaped and subsequently made some 13 missions to rescue
approximately 70 enslaved people, including family and friends, using
the network of antislavery activists and safe houses known as the
Underground Railroad."
The taste
of freedom will not be denied. MLK said "The arc of the moral universe
is long, but it bends toward justice" and so it will be in our age no
matter how many white racists try to subvert it, no matter how many Jim
Crow laws they try to reenact and no matter how many votes the
seditionists try to take away we will never give in, we will fight them
with every breath we take and mount a voting offensive so huge it will
stagger the imaginations of lesser men.
Harriet Tubman
The Emancipation--Happy Juneteenth
