Biden administration exploring ways to speed up Harriet Tubman $20 bill. Will racists burn it?

The idiots have cut up and burnt nikes and other items that have tried to foster equality and justice. I'd like to see if they will throw their $20 bills away. Lol.

One cool thing maybe 1 1/2+ yes ago or so I was at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and there was a photography exhibit of African-Americans.
One of the photos (platinum print?) was of Harriett Tubman when she was an elder. It was like - Ooo, History right in front of me! Very cool. Also Fredrick Douglas in a different photo.
