Raven-Symone Doesn’t Like the Idea of Harriet Tubman on the $20 Bill
Raven-Symone doesn’t want Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill. She said “It wouldn’t help America move forward.”
It all started when WomenOn20s proposed that a woman should be the new face of the $20 bill, and conducted two rounds of voting to determine which woman should earn the honor. Harriet Tubman was declared the winner, which apparently didn’t sit well with Raven-Symone, who made her opinions known on The View,
“No offense to everyone that’s going to be mad at me for saying this, I don’t like that idea. I think we need to move a little bit forward. Let me just preface that I understand the history, I get it trust me, I was taught, I was in that culture. … I would’ve chosen Rosa Parks. I would have chosen someone that is closer to the progression that we’re doing now. I know you have to understand history so you don’t repeat it, but that doesn’t happen in our world because we still repeat history of hating other cultures over and over again. I would choose a different woman, no offense.”
