>>There's a famous anecdote (which I may have blurred the details of)
that
Nichelle Nicolls (sp?!) was not real happy with Lt. Ohura, but Dr.
King convinced her to stay with the show, since she was a role model
of a reaponsible, respected black woman in the future.
One of the people who might not have has the same career without that
inspiration is Woopie Goldberg<<
Hell, the first black woman astronaut, Mae Jamison (sp?) credits Lt.
Uhura as being her inspiration.
