In a shocking development, and one that probably angers The View’s vapid and air-headed co-host Raven-Symone, slave revolutionary Harriet Tubman, who freed up to a 1,000 slaves along the legendary “Underground Railroad” during the Antebellum South, will received one of the nation’s highest honors as her image will grace the $20 bill.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury has decided that iconic abolitionist Tubman will replace disgraced slaveowner Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill and become the first woman to grace an American currency in more than $100 years.

Immediately, a flood of responses hit the airwaves and cyberspace, including from Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Take a look at some of the most interesting and provocative:

A friend said, “Gun-toting slavery abolitionist badass Harriet Tubman to replace disgraced slaveowner president on $20 bill.”. I like that.
