The Dude has been thinking about her a lot recently One of the great things about the 60s.. was that there were so many "hot topics" being questioned.. like.. Race and Religion and Equal Rights.. Nichelle Nichols seemed to be an example that encompassed a lot of stuff and showed .. what one possible future could look like.. A black female with the rank of communications officer who was treated with respect and was an equal by her work peers Also, on screen (Star Trek) she seemed to carry herself with so much class and grace on screen.. "Wow" the dude thought "what an amazing role model!"... Not only for the generation of young women coming through but for.. anyone else who believes in the simple words.. "a fair go". Ps. Happy Birthday Nichelle - 28 Dec 2012 (age 80) ps. See related Gene Roddenberry |
