While they make some fair points about Tubman and that's totally fine, first and foremost, it's a win for them and I don't want that. Mainly because I've seen what they do with these slippery slopes and as soon as we open the floodgates before you know it what's left of the paper money will be covered with the faces of trannies and "In God We Trust" will be replaced with "Stunning and Brave." Maybe if they had taken their wins quietly and happily in the past and not used every single win as an opportunity to push for more tenfold, I've have a different opinion.
I sort of like the tradition of mostly Presidents on the money too. Not attached to Andrew Jackson in the slightest. How about they update the back of the bill? That's been a lot more common to vary over the years. Surely there has to be something badass that some black people did in service of the country they could put back there.
Not necessarily suggesting ceding ground, but more was thinking if they had come up with something that made me think "yeah that's a badass American moment" without having to add "...for a black person" on the end then I'm all for it. The thing is I really can't think of such a moment. I definitely don't want ugly old Harriet Tubman on my money regardless of what I think of her.

Why cede any ground at all?
