Which is…itself….an indictment…
Bigotry…..long….this Nation's sin
Harriet's likeness reverberating
….Tubman's…mission born again
Amongst the Country's…historical issues
….Prejudice…..hatred……..lingers still
Projected……angered……opposition…
Toward Tubman's image…indeed the bill
Revealed torment in minds of many
…..Animosity's abject distaste
Throngs….worked up…..fits of hissy
Blasphemous irony……Tubman's face
Slavery engraved upon the Twenty
…The very essence…to some…demeans
Yesteryear's sense…of 'Great America'
…Tubman's black…'defaced' the green
Conflict itself….but…an indictment
…..Bigotry…..long….this Nation's sin
Harriet's…reincarnated madness
….Tubman's…mission…..born again
Author's note:
~Paige Lavender, Senior Politics Editor, The Huffington Post,4/20/2016 - "Treasury Secretary Jack Lew announced Wednesday that Harriet Tubman will replace former President Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. In a call with reporters, Lew said the back of the $20 will feature an image of the White House as well as an image of Jackson."
