Into The Stars

Another memorial post…
This one is for Nichelle Nichols, who played Lieutenant Uhura on the original series of Star Trek.

(It was very difficult to get an image that wasn’t copyrighted – this is the best that I could find…)

A trailblazer, an inspiration to many and, it seems, a lovely person as well.
I watched the original Star Trek as a child, and remember her as elegant, professional, unflappable – when the men were flailing about across the bridge of the Enterprise (60s special effects 😆 ), I remember her as being cool and calm.

Farewell, Ms Nichols.
May your onward journey be one of peace.
