Uhura was one of the few who could wear red . . . and survive.

Nichols has said in the past that she wanted to leave Star Trek for Broadway, but was convinced by MLK to stay as a role model.

“Do you not understand what God has given you? … You have the first important non-traditional role, non-stereotypical role. … You cannot abdicate your position. You are changing the minds of people across the world, because for the first time, through you, we see ourselves and what can be.” Nichols remembers King saying to her.

I never knew her first name on Star Trek. Don’t remember anyone calling her by her first name ever.

he said Nichols had undergone a CAT scan and MRI
Why do both an MRI and a Cat scan? Wouldn't an MRI cover all bases?

Hoping she has a speedy recovery.

Here is a recent picture. She is 82.
