Lieutenant Uhura – Nichelle Nichols

Where do we even start when it comes to the legendary Lieutenant Uhura? How about with the fact that Nichelle Nichols’s role of Lieutenant Uhura was groundbreaking across the whole of America.  She was the first African American female character that appeared on American television and was not portrayed as a  servant. At one point Nichols considered leaving the show, however, she changed her mind after she was personally asked by the civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. to stay. Once the series ended, she starred in many films and TV shows and even released two music albums. Another amazing thing she did was being a  part of a special NASA project that helped recruit minority and female personnel.  Today 88-year-old Nichelle looks absolutely fabulous!
