Nichelle Nichols passes away at 89, very sad and a key figure in bringing black actors to the screen. RIP.

When MLK tells you that the part you play represents the future and asks you not to resign. Well played Nichelle Nicholls

What's crazy is that her smashing of the barriers still has her as the girl that answers the phones, just on a spaceship!

Even her kiss with Kirk (a first on US network TV), was against their will, when they were being controlled by an evil alien

Not to denigrate the impact she had, just highlight how powerful racism was only a few decades ago.

RIP

This ^

I find it difficult to comprehend this but it was obviously a very powerful force and I'm just glad for people like Nichelle Nichols for helping the rest of us see, understand and remove it.
