Hillary Clinton: Harriet Tubman Is a Symbol for America

Apr 25, 2016, 10:41 AM

Hillary Clinton called the White House's decision to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill a "great historical announcement" and repeated a theme from her 2008 Democratic convention speech when she said Americans should follow Tubman's example of persevering in difficult times. Speaking in a predominantly African-American church in Philadelphia on Sunday morning, Clinton said that as senator for New York, she had helped allocate money to preserve Tubman's homestead in Auburn, NY.
