We've already seen plans for Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill dropped -- which was surely a political move.


Both the suggestion as well as the cancellation.

A woman was placed upon a stamp soon after her death this century for political reason (2015 POTUS Obama) without consideration for her self admitted and published admission and acknowledgement of her period of time as a human trafficker**. Plus the USPS attributed her for a quote on the stamp which was not her work.


**Edit: Before anyone jumps on me about this I was a friend of the family for quite sometime. But truth is truth. All it shows is that with the correct political winds, anything can be "overlooked."

All historical figures were/are humans and as such imperfect. Perhaps flags and hearts should be the only subject matter allowed. Yawn.

If it does happen, I anticipate this cachet becoming popular again.


Or when a marker monkey detects an uncancelled letter and adds some creative artwork to cancel the stamp... Sharpie's Revenge.
First Amendment, or Treason? At minimum, likely a fireable offense.
