My deep concern is that Tubman's legacy is being used by the same warmongering Neocons who drove Bush and Obama to give Biden's coming warmongering an air of respectability. At least Trump didn't give a fuck: he went straight to Jackson's main plantation, The Hermitage, (he owned several) and saluted Jackson's rotting corpse! Jackson was a massive slaveholder, loved slavery, was a traitor, and was the Godfather of the Confederacy. So no surprise that Trump did what he did.
However slowly, when Harriet Tubman replaces Andrew Jackson on the $20 dollar bill, the arc of the moral Universe will continue to bend towards Justice.
