Re: Harriet Tubman, about to take the $20 bill, is larger than lore, and Boy forgoes birthday gifts to aid sea turtles, April 24 news stories.
Harriet Tubman, pictured in 1885, was described in a runaway ad as “about 5 feet high.” (Smithsonian Institution)
Thank you for the fascinating story about Harriet Tubman. Also, thank you for the story about 6-year-old Jasper Rose, who asked for donations to help sea turtles rather than birthday presents. Both these stories were uplifting. Often, the news is all grim. Last Sunday, there were bright spots of hope.
