She was absolutely amazing. Such a shame. articleMartin Luther King Jr. was a fan of hers and convinced her to continue to portray Uhura because she's an inspiration, which she did until she died.

I remember as a kid just taking it for granted that there was a black woman on a sci-fi show. I mean, seemed less far-fetched to me than Tribbles or transporter pads. It wasn't until I was older that I learned more about what a trail blazer she was both in Hollywood and for civil rights in general.
An amazing person!

Fred Sanford and George Jefferson were household names while I was growing up, and even though she wasn't a regular, Odessa Cleveland popped up plenty of times on MASH. Then in the late 70's, Different Strokes, Benson, and BSG came along (Boomer was a high ranking pilot and Tigh was the first officer).
