Long before she became the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle took a stand against racism for the charity 'Erase the Hate.'
Meghan says in the video of participating in the campaign,"For me, I think it hits a really personal note. I'm biracial, most people can't tell what I'm mixed with, and so, much of my life has felt like being a fly on the wall. And so, some of the slurs I've heard or the really offensive jokes, or the names, it's just hit me in a really strong way, and then you know, a couple of years ago, I heard someone call my mom the N-word.
"It just really opened up my eyes to a mentality that still exists that I thought was backdated to when my grandfather moved our family from Cleveland to L.A. and they drove across the country and to stop and get food, whatever kind of place they were going to, and they had to go round the back to get food for the family," she says."You know, I thought that was really isolated to those days that we were past, and sadly they're not.
Meghan is, of course, now a mom to her 1-year-old son, Archie, with her husband, Prince Harry. Back in November 2016, when news broke that Harry and Meghan were dating, Harrywith an official statement from Kensington Palace. "We were leaving a concert and she wasn't pulling out of a parking space quickly enough for another driver," she recalled."My skin rushed with heat as I looked to my mom. Her eyes welling with hateful tears, I could only breathe out a whisper of words, so hushed they were barely audible: 'It's OK, Mommy.' I was trying to temper the rage-filled air permeating our small silver Volvo.
