Glad he was able to gain some of the recognition he deserved later in his life. His story is pretty incredible.

Nichelle Nichols, Lt. Uhura on ‘Star Trek,’ has died at 89.

Nichelle Nichols, trailblazing 'Star Trek' actress, dies at 89

Actress and singer Nichelle Nichols, best known for her groundbreaking portrayal of Lt. Nyota Uhura in "Star Trek: The Original Series," has died at age 89, according to a statement from her son, Kyle Johnson.
Nichols portrayed communications officer Lt. Nyota Uhura in the "Star Trek" TV series and many of its film offshoots.
When "Star Trek" began in 1966, Nichols was a television rarity: a Black woman in a notable role on a prime-time television series. There had been African-American women on TV before, but they often played domestic workers and had small roles; Nichols' Uhura was an integral part of the multicultural "Star Trek" crew.
The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. called it "the first non-stereotypical role portrayed by a Black woman in television history.

Nichols is widely known for participating in one of the first interracial kisses on US television when her character kissed James T. Kirk, portrayed by White Canadian actor William Shatner. In an interview with CNN in 2014, Nichols said the kiss scene "changed television forever, and it also changed the way people looked at one another."

You have to remember that this was 1966–ish. POC we’re just not seen on TV. You’d see the occasional maid or street criminal, but that was about it. Segregation was still the standard in most of the country, and in my home state of Virginia, interracial marriage was still illegal, which is why Star Trek was such a revolutionary show. I think they got away with dealing with social issues because it was science fiction. RIP to a true trailblazer.

When I was growing up, Lt Uhura was my favorite character in the original series. In the late 1970's, Star Trek was on our TV on Sunday nights at 11 PM. I remember sneaking out of bed each week to go downstairs to watch the episodes on the spare black and white TV. Each Monday, I would be so tired, but it must have been worth it to me.
