When Whoopi Goldberg was little, she saw Uhura on Star Trek and yelled to her mother, "there's a black lady on TV and she ain't no maid!"
And not only was she no maid, she was a certified badass. And so was Nichelle Nichols. She was hired by NASA after Star Trek to bring women into the space program. Because of her, Sally Ride was chosen to be the first American woman in space.
