Wait! What? Raven Symoné Doesn’t Want Harriet Tubman on the $20 Bill!

 
 Raven-Symoné wants to see a woman on the $20 bill, but she doesn’t want it to be Harriet Tubman. The famed abolitionist was the people’s first choice female (based on the results of Women on 20s’ unofficial online poll), but Raven would prefer “someone that is closer to the progression that we’re doing now,” she said Wednesday of The View. “No offense to everyone that’s going to be mad at me for saying this, I don’t like that idea [of Harriet Tubman on the $20],” she said. “I think we need to move a little bit forward.
Let me just preface that I understand the history, I get it, trust me, I was taught, I’m in that culture…” She ran through some of the other options Women on 20s provided as ideal candidates, including Eleanor Roosevelt, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Patsy Mink and Rosa Parks. “Me personally, I would have chosen Rosa Parks,” said Raven. “I would have chosen someone that is closer to the progression that we’re doing now. And I know you have to understand history so that you don’t repeat it, but that doesn’t really happen in our world, because we still repeat history of hating other cultures over and over again. So I would choose a different one, no offense.”
