Nichelle Nichols Remembers Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The late actress shared her fondest memories of the civil rights leader.
Back in 2010, during an interview with StarTrek.com, Nichols recounted how Dr. King inspired her and how she’d inspired him and his family, and why she chose to heed his personal request to remain with Star Trek: The Original Series.
