It’s all well & good that 2 #Union soldiers are posthumously being awarded the #MedalofHonor but a glaring mistake not to also give one to #HarrietTubman. Her work as a spy alone incl the wildly successful #Combahee Ferry Raid were much more important to defeating the #Confederate army. The #Biden Admin STILL hasn’t fulfilled its promise to fast track getting her on the $20 bill…it’s time to step up.
