4. A remarkable woman with a thrilling life story

I remember when we talked about the underground railroad in grade school, it was especially appealing to a child's sense of adventure and admiration of bravery. Mnuchin claims "counterfeiting concerns" but it is so obvious that the Trump crowd fears how the base would react if they saw this black woman on their money. And the base probably feels in-on-the-joke, thinking they are putting one over on the "libtards". They don't realize as they revel in the subterfuge that it is a boldfaced indication of just how unpopular their agenda is and always will be. Compare the profound courage required of an oppressed people to risk their lives in the cause of freedom against the cowardice of an administration that holds all kinds of power yet sneaks around with pretexts to please their constituants.
