Possible Rendering of Harriet Tubman on $20 Bill Reviewed by Treasury Secretary
By MARIAM KHAN
Apr 22, 2016, 2:20 PM ET
One day after announcing plans for the new $20, $10 and $5 bills, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew was pictured meeting with designers, engravers, printers and security experts at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
In an especially revealing snap, Lew was seen overlooking a portrait of Harriet Tubman, the African-American civil rights icon who was chosen as the new face of the $20 note. It is unclear whether this is the portrait of Tubman that will ultimately appear on the $20 bill.

(34,111 posts)1. I like that!
She was such a strong and brave woman. I am so pleased, I voted for her. I found her so inspiring as a kid.

Edit to add: Otherwise, I think it's beautiful.

(though I must admit, I got a kick out of the satirical mock-up of her brandishing the gun).
