YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Remembering Nichelle Nichols; trailblazer, advocate, and friend of StarTalk. Some might know Nichelle Nichols best from Star Trek, but this actress, singer, dancer and space advocate has much to say beyond her role in TV’s exploration of the final frontier. In this exclusive interview, recorded July 18th, 2011, she talks about how science fiction and Star Trek—and specifically her ground-breaking role as Chief Communications Officer Lt. Uhura—not only impacted her life, but also had an influence on society over space and time.
