Appearing on Good Morning Britain on Tuesday (21 June) ahead of this year’s Windrush Day, Harris said that she’d shared the post as a “celebration” of immigration.
“I just felt as though people see immigration in always such a negative light and that’s how it’s constantly presented,” she said.
On Windrush Day last year (22 June), the actor shared her anger at the racist treatment of migrants in the UK throughout history, in particular those among the Windrush generation who had been forced to reapply for citizenship.
“But actually, immigration is a positive thing because there’s so much people from other countries could bring to this country and really enrich our culture.”
