To call Harriet Tubman a “made up” hero shows you have no idea what you’re talking about. You can disagree with the decision and still acknowledge that she led an extraordinary life. Try to show a bit of class in spite of your bitterness.

Much of what people think they “know” about Tubmans life is in fact just myth.

Very little is known, and much of what is known has been exaggerated to the point of myth. John Henry was real too.

The point I was making wasn’t so much to disparage Tubman than to point out there are hero’s with stories as compelling or even more so than Tubman. And not a one of them will ever be taught about in a history book and none of them will certainly ever be put on a dollar denomination because frankly... they are all the wrong color!
