Ms Nichols was called a trail blazer, but that can't begin to describe this woman extraorinaire or her contribution. In her seminal role as Nyota Uhura, she changed the face of tv.
Envisioned as a background character whom so radiant, so powerful her representative energy cast her presence to the foreground.
Ms Nichols embodied that there are no small parts, first becomeing and then exceeding the potential of her role on Star Trek.
Bringing to glorious life MLK's prophetic vision of the future to unfold. 'Now they see us as we truly are' he said.
What Nichelle gave the world and to all of us here, can never be taken away.
We will miss you always.
The Queen has Risen
