The greatest Star Trek story of all time. RIP to a legend.

The greatest Star Trek story of all time. I saw her at a comic con like a decade ago and she told that story there to (I imagine she'd tell it everywhere she did stuff like that and why the fuck wouldn't you), and the other thing I remember is that she said something along the lines of the proudest part of having played Uhura was getting letters from younger black women in the space program who were inspired to do it because of her. RIP to a legend.

RIP.

Loved her character in the show and how it inspired future generations and what it did for her and others. Just sad thinking about some issues recently in the news about her and her son. I hope she is at peace.
