The latest measure, sponsored by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, a Democrat from New Hampshire, follows years of delays and efforts to have Harriet Tubman replace President Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill.

It is a holiday dedicated to honoring the legacy of the anti-slavery activist Harriet Tubman, observed annually on March 10. A proclamation establishing the holiday was issued by U.S. President George H.

Did you know that March 10 is both Harriet Tubman Day and the National Day of Rest for Black women, this year? March 10 is more than just a date—it’s a call to honor both resistance and rest, two things that have been essential to Black survival and liberation.
