As many of you know tomorrow (March 21) is my B-day and I will have the opportunity to meet Nichelle Nichols, Lt. Uhura from the original series at a Comic Con that my hometown is hosting this weekend. I will have the opportunity to get an autograph from her and there will be a Q&A segment with her. As a member of this fleet I would like to extend any questions anyone might want me to ask Ms. Nichols during the Q&A session. I do plan on video taping the Q&A session (if the event staff permits it) and will try to upload it to Youtube if I can successfully get a recording.

Tell her that she was an inspiration with her and Kirk's kiss being a milestone in TV and see if she'll give you one for your birthday! And tell her that the joke she made about it on futurama was pee in your pants funny. In all seriousness tell her that as a citizen of Alabama in the light of the recent anniversary of the Selma Bloody Sunday March, that everyone appreciates what Dr King said about her, and what she said about her in her role, and I hope she realizes that what she was doing on TV was as important as what was being done elsewhere, and we are all thankful to Dr. King for talking her into staying on Star Trek because it wouldn't have been the same without her! Tell her that it wasn't fate, but divine intervention, because all people are equal.

for anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about, you should all watch this, and I'm not trying to high jack your thread but the things she has done to combat injustice, and to show how Dr. King viewed Roddenbury, and how Nichelle realized how important she was to the world.
"The World finally sees us as how we should be seen." -Dr. King, talking to Nichelle
"God Bless Martin Luther King, someone knows where I'm coming from." Gene to Nichelle on her retracting her resignation
Yeah she said most of the stuff at the Q&A today. However her memory was not completely there from what I've gathered. She couldn't remember if TNG had already been filmed or is currently on air and it took her like 5 minutes to remember who Zoe Saldana was.

That's sad, she was so intelligent, I guess her age is wearing on her. Still it must have been a real pleasure to meet her. Also, WTH is up with your toe? I enhanced it...illuminatoe?
