More Description

Nichelle Nichols, well known as "Lieutenant Uhura" in "Star Trek: The Original Series," has died at the age of 89.
Nichols' talent manager and lifelong business partner, Gilbert Bell, verified the devastating news to Variety, confirming that Nichols died on Saturday night in Silver City, New Mexico.
Nichols and her character have inspired generations of television fans.
Nichols considered quitting the program after the first season to pursue a career on Broadway, but Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. persuaded her to stay since her character was critical in clearing the way for other African Americans on television.
Nichols appeared in one of the first interracial kisses ever seen on television in "Star Trek." Given the political context at the time, she, "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry, and NBC took a risk with that scene with William Shatner. The 1968 episode "Plato's Stepchildren," on the other hand, was crafted to give everyone involved a pass: Uhura and Captain Kirk did not choose to kiss; they were forced to do it unwillingly by aliens with the power to manipulate human actions. Nonetheless, it was a momentous occasion.
