I was a little girl when Star Trek first aired. Seeing people of different nationalities and both men and women working together was comfortable and normal to me. Each character was celebrated for their talents and contributions and what they looked like didn't matter. At the time, I had no understanding of how controversial the character of Uhura was and I applaud Nichelle for striving to bring that sense of normalcy to reality. Bravo and thanks for EVERYTHING!!
