About this photo
Nichelle Nichols in Star Trek - The Bridge of the USS Enterprise
This photograph captures Nichelle Nichols in her groundbreaking role as Nyota Uhura, communications officer aboard the USS Enterprise. Created by Gene Roddenberry, Star Trek made television history in 1966 with the first interracial kiss broadcast on American television between Uhura and Captain Kirk, a bold moment that broke down the racial barriers of the time.
The original series, produced by Desilu Productions with a groundbreaking budget of $200,000 per episode, turned Nichelle Nichols into an icon. Her character inspired generations, including Mae Jemison, the first African-American female astronaut, who joined NASA after seeing Uhura on screen. Martin Luther King Jr. himself convinced Nichols to continue in her role because of its significant societal impact.
A play that celebrates the legacy of a pioneer who opened up the stars to everyone.
