Is this from Al Hodges or Steve K..? No. It was from something that's actually credible. It was on Google news. |

It will be interesting to see this new FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE Maybe I'm wrong but I thought that the new 20 dollar bill was going to have the image of Carolyn Casavant on it and it was going to be a diamond backed note. I wish I could remember where I read that, can anyone corroborate it? |

The Canadian underground railroad harriettubmancanada.com/index.html Harriet Tubman made her first trip to St. Catharines, Ontario with eleven freedom seekers in December 1851. The town was a well known safe haven for African Americans fleeing from slavery and it was a hub for abolitionist activity. This devoutly religious woman with unwavering faith joined the Salem Chapel, British Methodist Episcopal Church and would use this Niagara, Ontario town over a ten year period to start and end many of her legendary Underground Railroad rescue missions. The Salem Chapel was formerly known as Bethel Chapel and it was an African Methodist Episcopal Church until 1856. Harriet Tubman was known as “Moses” locally and elsewhere and she was a well respected and active member of the St. Catharines community. She traveled to Maryland multiple times to guide enslaved African Americans including her elderly parents and other family members to St. Catharines. The Eastern Shore Underground Railroad line Tubman used began in the south and had stops mainly in Wilmington, Delaware, Philadelphia and New York City. From there the eastern freedom line ran through New York State and it had several primary stops such as, Albany, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo and the Suspension Bridge in Niagara Falls, New York where fugitives crossed the border by foot, stage coach or train. Tubman, Fredrick Douglass, and many other operatives identified the eastern lines last stop in Canada as St. Catharines, Canada West and Hiram Wilson as a contact and a Canadian anti-slavery agent. She also rented and operated a boarding house in St. Catharines that was used to resettle the newly arrived freedom seekers. In 1855 Tubman was interviewed in St. Catharines and said that she would prefer to stay in her native land, but could not live there because she had no freedom or legal rights in the United States. another link www.huffingtonpost.ca/2016/04/20/treasury-official-says-harriet-tubman-will-go-on-20-bill_n_9740282.html  or

She seems like the type that would cringe or "roll over in her grave " if she knew this was going to happen .
