Guide to the <i>Star Trek</i> Universe

Nichelle Nichols as Lt. Uhura

When “Star Trek” premiered in 1966, the United States was in the middle of the Civil Rights movement, and Nichelle Nichols stunned audiences as one of the very first strong, positive African American female characters on TV. Nichols also made history with one of the first interracial kissing scenes with Captain Kirk in a 1967 episode that is still considered one of the landmark TV episodes of all time. In 2007, Nichelle Nichols returned to TV with a supporting role on…”Heroes.”
