Who's is this woman that will be on the 20 dollar bill?

According to BBC New, Harriet Tubman born in 1822 with parents that was in slavery, worked as a servant when she even didn't pass the age of 5, she was abused and worked very hard when she was very young.



she ran away while she was in her teenage years  until she was in Pennsylvania where this country doesn't practice slavery, after couple of years she went back to the country again to free her whole family and friends. she succeeded in smuggling them into another country through railways.

She helped them find home, food and jobs, she became popular person that was against slavery, she worked as well as a nurse and a spy during he civil war for the army, after he war has done, she was demanded to go around the united states to talk about slavery and women's rights, the owner of the slaves told everyone a prize 40 thousand dollar for killing or catch her. she died at age of 91 in 1991.

Andrew Jackson's ( 7th president of united states)  face will be replaced with her face on the 20 dollar bill as in his days he had a lo of slaves working under him, as she will be the first African American women that will be put on the dollar bill.
