Wishing Nichelle Nichols a rapid and complete recovery
Nichelle Nichols, who held the coveted role of Lieutenant Nyota Uhura on "Star Trek", now 82 years young, suffered a mild stroke on Wednesday. All reports say, like Lieutenant Uhura, Nichelle is strong and in good spirits.
Nichelle played the role of Communications Officer Lieutenant Uhura with class and dignity, pioneer role-modeling for so many young Black women, and the pride of Black men in the '60's.
