I was saddened to hear of the death of Nichelle Nichols. Nichols played Lt Uhura, an officer on the US Enterprise. It was a groundbreaking role, the first African American woman to play a non-traditional role.
Of course, her character resonated with me because she was a powerful woman, again, also unusual for TV shows of that era.

She also did not take any crap from bad guys in her roles.
