Bill 119 s 923, also known as the Harriet Tubman Currency Redesign Act, is a proposed legislation that aims to require the Secretary of the Treasury to redesign the $20 Federal reserve notes to feature a likeness of Harriet Tubman. Harriet Tubman was an African American abolitionist and political activist who played a significant role in the Underground Railroad, helping enslaved individuals escape to freedom.The bill seeks to honor Tubman's legacy and contributions to American history by prominently featuring her image on the $20 bill.
