Black History Month Tribute - Nichelle Nichols AKA Lieutenant Uhura
I was never an avid watcher of Star Trek re-runs when I was a kid, I always liked Space 1999 better, but when I first caught glimpse of Lt. Uhura I was hooked. A sista in space?! What could any tomboy like better. Nichelle Nichols never had enough lines for me, but she used to give folks some looks on that show that was saying a whole lot! Her mouth may not have been moving, but her eyes were saying it all. Not to mention Captain Kirk trying to get his "jungle fever" on with her in one episode..."I don't want to do this, but..." Yeah right, William Shatner was on the set early the day that episode was shot!
