Harris noted that “for those rights to be maintained,” people “have to be vigilant.”

Pointing to A Wonderful World and its story of Louis Armstrong, she told the crew, “Look at this beautiful play and everything that we know he — he had to suppress so much. But he knew and he took those risks, but we have to be the clear eye… and it doesn’t mean we don’t see the beauty in everything, right? These things all co-exist. But I believe we fight for something, not against something, right? And that’s our optimism, right? With that, I’m leaving.”

Meanwhile, a source close to Harris insisted she’s been working behind-the-scenes by attending the NAACP Image Awards, fundraising for the DNC and speaking with federal and state leaders.

“She’s talking to folks, not running around trying to get press,” the insider said, adding that her supporters “are eager to back her and giving her space” to make her next move.
