Will Harriet Tubman be the first woman whose face will be featured on a $20 bill? The result of a 10-week online poll of an advocacy group Women on 20s revealed that many American citizens are in favor of Tubman, CNN reported.

The group, led by its founder Barbara Ortiz Howard, and Susan Ades Stone, executive director, gave a petition to President Barack Obama on May 11, to provide details of the organization's advocacy and online poll results.

A part of the petition reads, "Women On 20s calls upon President Barack Obama to order the Secretary of the Treasury to change the current portrait portrayed on our American $20 bank note to reflect the remarkable accomplishments of an exemplary American woman who has helped shape our Nation's great history."

The Women on 20s believes that it's time for the country to recognize the role of women in U.S. history. The petition explains, "the long struggle for Suffrage Rights by so many American women did result in the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920 and that in 2020 we shall celebrate the Centennial of this landmark in our history, it follows that that women should be honored with representation and memorialization on our nation's bank notes; and specifically the $20 bank note as part of the commemoration of this Centennial."

Based on the petition, Tubman was the finalist who got the highest score in the poll. "Finalist Harriet Tubman (c.1822-1913), born a slave, fled to the North for freedom, yet braved 19 trips back to the South as the conductor of the Underground Railroad, guiding some 300 slaves to freedom."

The group's online poll gathered more than 600,000 votes and became popular during its run that it even caught the attention of powerful women in the entertainment industry like Ellen DeGeneres and Susan Sarandon, notes CNN.

The outcome of the poll showed that Tubman bested 15 highly-respected women in history such as former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt and African-American civil rights activist Rosa Parks, adds CNN.

If this is approved by the Treasury Department, which has the sole authority to make changes to U.S. currency, Tubman would officially take over the seventh U.S. President Andrew Jackson's spot on the $20 bill.
