Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry has backed a British newspaper's anti-racism campaign. The star, who was racially abused during her childhood, is in full support of the Daily Mirror's Hope Not Hate campaign.

She says, "The Mirror's campaign is to be supported. I experienced racism when I was a child. It was difficult being one of the only black children in an all-white school of 1,500. I believe in diversity. It is only ignorance that allows us to stay at odds with each other."
