Harriet Tubman is having a moment.

Nearly 107 years after her death, the legendary abolitionist seems to be everywhere, from herTubman’s visibility partly reflects a broader trend in which black figures, stories and music are at the forefront of popular culture, experts say.#MeToo movement

That switch drew a backlash from many critics who questioned whether it was based on politics, and it prompted OneUnited, the nation's largest African American-owned bank, to put Tubman's image on a debit card that debuted this month. Tubman's crossed arms are actually meant to convey the American sign language gesture for love, Williams says. And the card's introduction is kicking off a yearlong campaign celebrating the 100th and 150th anniversary of black women and men getting the right to vote.

"They were using the power of his words and his voice ... hawking trucks,'' Cieslak says."They deserved to get blowback.''

Backlash from twitter users is fine, as long as real customers are not complaining. I wouldn't also put her face on every debit card, but give an option to put it, if they wanted. Others can have the plain ones

The only risk is if you have a bad artist. Poor picture of this beautiful brave woman.

For one, they could hire a good artist to draft it out rather than whatever this is meant to be.

Disrespectful

So, guessing.. puppies, cats... blue skies no longer work..

OH NO!!! This is wrong. This just doesn't feel right. Harriet fought for human dignity. A face on a credit card does not do her justice.

That's just insulting to her honestly don't send that please

Not this way. Tacky.

Nice! Keep Old Hickory on the $20 and put Harriet on a charge card.
