Indeed. A fine choice. I was a bit indifferent until I saw this. She's now an elevated American icon in very heady company. At least she has the same grim, kinda scary, visage that they all have. Children, foreign visitors, immigrants, and the rest of us will look at her and occasionally reflect. Now they'll all be forced to learn a little about her. And the 'S' word. Can't rewrite Ms. Tubman's history...no revisionist could. Priceless.
