Nichelle Nichols, Lt. Uhura on Star Trek TOS has died, leaving behind fond memories and a lasting memory of a black woman in a Command position (I remember that on Land of the Giants, there was a black male who was second in command).
Was she not also on an episode or two of Star Trek Continues (or such independent show)?
Fond and lasting memories as 'heroes' continue aging and dying. Uhura WILL be missed, by me at least. :(

You are a fluke of the universe; you have no right to be here.
