Amid a national reckoning on race, the U.S. is taking a closer look at who it holds up as an American patriot.
"She had an attitude of 'I am here and so I’m gonna make this country what it should be for all of us,'" said Ernestine Wyatt.
Wyatt is Harriet Tubman’s great-great-great-grandniece. Her Aunt Harriet is set to replace President Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill.
