Favorite Moment Was Uhura Speaking Klingon
prevnextHappy Birthday @NichelleIsUhura! Uhura was such a great character of diversity and I hope that you have a marvelous day! I loved every moment that Uhura was on screen but I definitely would choose when she had to speak Klingon in #StarTrekVI as my favorite moment! 😂🖖🏻#StarTrek pic.twitter.com/MgbFiSaXgM

How MLK Convinced Nichols Not to Quit Star Trek
prevnextMy favorite is actually not on the show. It’s that she wanted to leave the show and MLK convinced her she should stay and use her platform to represent Black people in the overwhelmingly white space of 60s TV. Took a tremendous amount of courage!
