Beautiful tribute. I've got tears. I hope I'm wording this right but...The world seems dimmer without her, but the stars now shine brighter WITH her. RIP Nichelle, and thank you for all you have done.
Very well said.
Sounds good to me!
That was Beautiful.
Rest in Peace, Nichelle. Your legacy will be forever.
“This isn’t reality. This is Fantasy!”
She made the world better just by being in it. How fitting she was the communications officer and translator, when her goal and her destiny was to help us all hear each other, to see each other, and to speak to each other as equals… just a little more clearly.
Those who never had to look to find even the smallest amount of positive representation for themselves cant begin to understand how important Nichelle is. Nichelle had to do what she did in the face of racism and sexism. Having her character's relevance cut down constantly, being locked out of entering the studio, the absolutely dehumanizing experience of knowing you are being treated this way because of something you cannot (and would not) change. She wanted to leave and that would have been fair, but she stayed in part as a love song to every Black fan who wanted to SEE that they belonged up there just as much as anyone else. Thank you Nichelle. We will continue to thank you always.
I think what needs to happen is that they make a Nichols Class of ships and the first of the class be the USS Uhura
Wishing her a Fair Wind and a Following Sea
0:41 - I adored Jenny Lumet's comment about "intellectual space". I've seen a lot said about Nichelle over the years, both before and after her death. I've never heard a comment as eloquent as that. Adored it.
I'm not crying, you're crying... this was such a great and reverent tribute
Wonderful tribute. Thank you. NIchelle Nichols was the brightest of stars.
ETA - Someone in the comments made a disparaging comment about Sonequa. She is a wonderful addition to the franchise and as the current leading lady of the franchise, has shown herself to be worthy to follow in Nichelle's footsteps in the Star Trek universe.
Seriously, why do people have to be so negative? To me, Star Trek has always been a wonderful example of what the future can be if we really try to be good to each other.
@@qcontinuum30star trek from it’s inception was always liberal the Kirk uhura kiss,the non-binary species in the next generation,the female female kiss in deep space nine I can go on it was always a progressive franchise
She was a most radiant and magnificent soul. She lived always believing ANYTHING was possible, and she was unafraid of showing how. Her loss is profound and devastating to all, except we need only look at the stars to remember this marvelous woman for she shines from a million points of light.
💋🎊💋
Second star to the right and forward until morning. Gods speed Miss Nichols.
Hailing frequencies closed and the com have gone silent.
From a trekkie that have always loved ToS.
Rest in peace Nichelle Nichols. Know that we take solace that you inspired people to pursue their dreams regardless of who they were.
Nichelle, what an icon, what a beauty, regal, noble, talented, perfect!
The power, the determination, the CLASS, a woman of the FUTURE, right here in our time. I feel honored to have walked the earth when she graced the earth with her presence!!!!!!
An absolute icon. I cannot explain 😢how much it meant to me to see her in that role, even in syndication and reruns. It was EVERYTHING!!! I can’t imagine what she endured to bring that role to life. 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
Ruhe in Frieden! Wir werden Dich vermissen! 😞❤
Goodnight, Miss Nichols, wherever you are.
RIP 🙏 She is a legend for humanity and proof that anyone can go where no one has gone before!!
She will always fly in our hearts.
Such a legendary actress. I've seen everything of Nichelle Nichol's in Star Trek and she was one of the driving forces for a lot of things in my life. She is an inspiration to EVERYONE not to just me or a select few. Nichelle will be missed yes but she will always be remembered. God Bless Nichelle Nichols. The world lost a great Woman.
i actually just found this out in sept 2023..... !!!! 🤯🤯😭😭. we'll always love and miss you too now Miss Nichols rest in peace love 🙏🏽👼🏽🙏🏽
When I took my first language class in the 6th grade (French), I turned in my seat - hand on my ear - and pretended to be Miss Nichelle. En Francais. My teacher said “make it so”…. Mixing shows, but it was the 90s, and she got it.
Wonderful tribute. We will never forget you Nichelle Nicholls!
This tribute was marvelously done…Nichelle will NEVER be forgotten 🖖🏼 =/\=
RIP, Nichelle Nichols = Resurrect in Paradise.
I loved her appear ,her Power and her Acting. Thank you and maybe we see us, where ever you are now.
Heartfelt this tribute...We need legislation: The Nichelle Nichols Act: Every company must devote a Real person to cover questions for 85% of inquiries first and to use bots you must pay a bot use tax to fund STEM education. The future is human not technology. Isn't that what we learned from Star Trek!
I grew up a skinny, nerdy white boy in the deep, DEEP South, soaking in casual racism all around me every day. Ms. Nichols and her presence in STAR TREK was one of the things that helped me see past the lack of diversity in my own little southwest-Louisiana world early on and overcome the perceptions and attitudes I was surrounded with. She has been a heroine of mine ever since. The world is darker without her...but the sky is brighter by one more star. Rest in power, ma'am...and thank you.
She was the best of all of us. God speed Nichelle Nichols.
Frankly, there needed to be more time dedicated to Nichelle during Star Trek Day. She was amazing, and three minutes was not enough of a tribute, not nearly enough.
We all never forget this strong woman 🖖😢
Rest and Peace from a trekki from Germany
She was great. RIP.
It's so hard to believe she's gone. It still doesn't feel real. She'll be missed. 🥺❤
RIP Nichelle. 🖖
RIP Uhura 😭😭😭😭🖖🖖🖖🖖⚰⚰⚰⚰💐💐💐💐
Nichelle Nichols voce esta na minha vida, nunca te esquecerei. A RAINHA de STAR TRECK.
As more of the good ppl leave us, we are left with less. Rest well Uhura!!
She was the brightest of stars.
Thank you Nichelle for making my youth that much better, great actress and made Star trek what it is even today, Love you and thank you, Respect to you from Gibraltar to you always.
Nichelle Nichols was a wonderful actress and I agree she was an inspiration. Four years ago, I went to the 2019 NYC Comic Con and had the chance to see her in person. I got her autograph picture, and I kissed her hand. It was wonderful.
RIP Nichelle Nichols 🙏😢🙏😢
RIP Nichelle. 🥰🥰🥰
Nichelle was so beautiful and talented. She is truly flying with the angels now. RIP Nichelle.
RIP from a loyal trekkie.
I loved her so much.
(I don't speak English, I hope the translation is correct)
In July of this year 2022, Nichelle Nichols, the unforgettable Lieutenant Uhura, has embarked on her definitive star trek. Singer and actress, Nichelle played Uhura in the original series "Star Trek", broadcast from 1966 to 1969. Until then, on American television there were practically no leading characters of the black race; Uhura was female and black, which was unprecedented for a leading or moderately leading character. At a certain point, Nichelle thought of leaving the series, because there were some good opportunities for her musical career, and because she considered that her character, although it was more or less leading, was not really that important; but Martin Luther King himself convinced her that her presence on the command bridge of the spaceship "Enterprise" constituted, by itself, a very powerful positive influence for the black community, and within it, very particularly for girls. Today, in 2022, it is very difficult to understand the weight of that influence (among other things, television was much more influential at that time than it is today), but at that time, in many countries (in all?), being a woman of the black race was a condemnation in many ways, and yet, suddenly, hundreds or thousands of black girls watched in amazement a television series that told them: "The day will come when a black woman will no longer have limits to her achievements" (It is beautiful and significant that the name “Uhura” was a euphonious variation of the Swahili word “Uhuru”, which means “freedom”). So Nichelle Nichols decided to continue in the series, and King's words proved to be absolutely true: many prominent or successful black women have declared the influence that the character of Uhura had on them on a personal level. A clear example: Mae Jemison, who in 1992 became the first black woman to travel to outer space (and who, in addition to having been an astronaut, is a doctor by profession, and has formal studies in engineering, dance, and African and African-American culture) was so inspired by Lieutenant Uhura, that she wanted and managed to participate in an episode (in 1993) of "Star Trek: The Next Generation", which was the first series sequel to the original series. As if all this were not enough, after the end of "Star Trek" Nichelle Nichols was a representative of the campaign that NASA began to attract women and ethnic minorities, after which, in 1978, for the first time in history they entered the NASA men belonging to ethnic minorities, and women. In short: in all of television history, very few characters (if any!) have had such a huge and positive influence on the real world as Lieutenant Uhura. Today, in 2022, we see very big flaws in the original "Star Trek" (and not just in the production, although that's the most glaring thing), but they are far outweighed by the merits it had, and of those merits, the ethically more important and influential was undoubtedly the character of Uhura.
Today, in 2022, together with the black community, also the community of fans of the many “Star Trek” series, the great “Trekkie” family, bids farewell to Lieutenant Uhura, on this, her last journey to the stars. This time she is not on board the "Enterprise", but she will undoubtedly meet with colleagues from the original crew who are already there. Surely she can already spot, in the distance, Leonard Nimoy, the unforgettable Mr. Spock, welcoming her with the characteristic Vulcan salute. My appreciation for your work and your inspiring influence, Nichelle, and my thanks for your character, who beautifully was a part of my childhood, when the boy I was became a "Trekkie", which I still and will continue to be.
She was very beautiful, within and without. She looks like shes got eygptian italian african just so many looks in her. very unique. I am thankful for all of the joy inspiriation and entertainment she brought to us all. RIP
We don't need a Disney princess, She is our's.
Beautiful tribute to a very beautiful woman
what a true hero will be missed but never forget for her greatest performance of our favorite episodes and movies of her which inspired many people who are engineerss nowadays god be with her and with her soul be lifted up to space ,live long and prosper .
What a beautiful tribute!!
she was so great. RIP Nichelle. we miss you forever 🖖🏼
THANK YOU FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE
TO A WELL DESERVED WOMAN!!!
SHE WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED!!!!
Such a role model!
A great lady, and heroine to untold numbers im sure. To me growing she was the coolest lady in any space show or movie...a true natural. That cast might of worked without her but i doubt it. In some ways she was the glue of the TOS and the prototype of her special character
Nichelle Nichols, Uhura: COMMUNICATIONS Officer, that says it all !
Rest in peace Queen 👑
I'll always love her interview from "Trekkies" where she's recounting Whoopi Goldberg's story of when she first saw Uhura on TV. Proof that she inspired the future.
For Ever Nichelle ❤❤
All my hopes, Nichelle.
This is beautiful. Nichelle is incredible. 🥹❤️
Rest well and miss you dearly.
Such a beautiful woman .
One of they lovely ladies of television.
now words from the surviving cast for the original series, the people who worked with her for decades
All hailing frequencies open with Love!!
You will live long and proper within our memories
Will Be ,Surely Missed.
Forever,Will Be ,A ("Trekkie,".)

A wonderful tribute
Hailing frequencies open forever
Great tribute.
One thing, though: "Kate Mulgrew, Captain Janeway, Star Trek Prodigy"?
Really, Paramount? Really? Not even mentioning that other little ST show she was in?
This was wonderful, yet exasperating. I wish there had been MORE! 😁 Nichelle was a lovely woman with a successful acting and singing career, and for most people this would have been enough, but then she went to NASA. Her work encouraging minorities to consider NASA as a career choice brought a diversity to the U.S. space program that was a benefit to us all. I highly recommend the movie "Woman in Motion," which is about her work for NASA.
😭
Uhura to Enterprise.
One to Beam Up.
Energize.
First black woman tv star, first interracial kiss... Respect, beatiful and brave Uhura!
See you among the stars, Nichelle.
Saddened To Have Heard,Of / About, The Passing,Of
("Our, Star Trek's,Uhura,".)
Nichelle Nichols.
She Will,Be Sadly ,Missed.
I Enjoyed,Her Role,She Played
Nichelle should of appeared on DS9 as a mentor to Ben Sisko and also the head of section 31 and Starfleet intelligence
That would have been great to see uhura as head of starfleet intelligence
永遠活在我的心裡，in memorie
No Nichelle, no Star Trek! She was as important as Shatner, Nimoy and the rest of the crew. Take her out of it and Star Trek would have been nothing. Nichelle, you’ll be missed! X
She was one of the original baddies ❤
A grand lady.
En julio de este año 2022, Nichelle Nichols, la inolvidable teniente Uhura, ha emprendido su definitivo viaje a las estrellas. Cantante y actriz, Nichelle interpretó a Uhura en la serie original de “Viaje a las Estrellas” (“Star Trek”), emitida de 1966 a 1969. Hasta ese momento, en la televisión estadounidense prácticamente no existían personajes protagónicos de raza negra; Uhura era mujer y de raza negra, algo sin precedentes en un personaje protagónico o medianamente protagónico. En cierto momento Nichelle pensó en dejar la serie, por existir algunas buenas oportunidades para su carrera musical, y por estimar que su personaje, si bien era más o menos protagónico, no era realmente tan importante; pero el mismísimo Martin Luther King la convenció de que su presencia en el puente de mando de la nave espacial “Enterprise” constituía, por sí sola, una poderosísima influencia positiva para la comunidad afroestadounidense, y dentro de ella, muy particularmente para las niñas. Hoy, en 2022, es muy difícil comprender el peso que tuvo esa influencia (para empezar, la televisión era en esa época muchísimo más influyente que hoy), pero en ese entonces, en muchos países (¿en todos?), ser mujer de raza negra era una condena en muchos sentidos, y sin embargo, de pronto, cientos o miles de niñas negras veían con asombro una serie de televisión que les decía: “Llegará el día en que una mujer negra ya no tendrá límites para sus logros” (es hermoso y significativo que el nombre “Uhura” fue una variación eufónica de la palabra suajili “Uhuru”, que significa “libertad”). Así que Nichelle Nichols decidió continuar en la serie, y las palabras de King demostraron ser absolutamente certeras: muchas destacadas o exitosas mujeres de raza negra han declarado la influencia que a nivel personal tuvo para ellas el personaje de Uhura. Un ejemplo claro: Mae Jemison, que en 1992 se convirtió en la primera mujer de raza negra en viajar al espacio exterior (y que además de haber sido astronauta es médico de profesión, y tiene estudios formales de ingeniería, de danza, y de cultura africana y afroestadounidense) fue en tal grado inspirada por la teniente Uhura, que quiso y logró participar en un episodio (en 1993) de “Viaje a las Estrellas: la Siguiente Generación”, que fue la primera serie secuela de la serie original. Por si todo eso fuera poco, tras el fin de “Star Trek” Nichelle Nichols fue representante de la campaña que la NASA inició para atraer a mujeres y a minorías étnicas, tras la cual, en 1978, por primera vez en la historia ingresaron a la NASA hombres pertenecientes a minorías étnicas, y mujeres. En resumen: en toda la historia de la televisión, muy pocos personajes (¡si es que alguno!) han tenido una influencia tan grande y positiva para el mundo real, como la teniente Uhura. Hoy, en 2022, vemos muy grandes defectos en la “Star Trek” original (y no sólo en la producción, aunque eso es lo más notorio), pero ellos son superados con creces por los méritos que tuvo, y de esos méritos, el éticamente más importante e influyente fue sin duda el personaje de Uhura.
Hoy, en 2022, junto a la comunidad afrodescendiente, también la comunidad de fans de las muchas series de “Star Trek”, la gran familia “Trekkie”, despide a la teniente Uhura, en éste, su último viaje a las estrellas. Esta vez no va a bordo de la “Enterprise”, pero sin duda se encontrará con compañeras y compañeros de la tripulación original que ya se encuentran allá; seguramente ya logra avistar, a la distancia, a Leonard Nimoy, el inolvidable señor Spock, dándole la bienvenida con el característico saludo vulcano. Mi reconocimiento por tu labor y por tu inspiradora influencia, Nichelle, y mi agradecimiento por tu personaje, que formó hermosamente parte de mi infancia, cuando el niño que fui llegó a ser un “Trekkie”, que sigo y seguiré siendo.
R.I.P NICHELLE NICHOLS
Lucky for Star Trek, she stayed on the show. In 1967 or 1968, she either had the part or auditioning for Mannix as Peggy Fair. She didn't do it. Martin Luther King talked to her and said she needed to stay to be an influence on black children. There weren't many black actors on TV, and if there were, they had a role of servant or something lesser than a main role.
Nice tribute 🖖🏻
Where is Zoe Zaldana in this video, that's not right, she played Nichelle's role in the 3 reboot movies very well.
shame they didn't include any of her co stars like George Takei or Walter Koenig
And William Shatner
To Boldly,Go Where,No One's, Gone Before.
R I P. To ("Our Uhura,".)
From ("Star Trek,".)

These are beautiful tributes, but I'm wondering why Zoe Saldana was missing. Hopefully it was just a scheduling issue and not drama between JJAbrams Trek and Legacy Trek.
Our World is a lesser place without her.
❤❤❤
I've been a huge Star Trek fan since I was about 12. I loved all of the actors and characters that they portrayed. I didn't hear a single one of these people mention her acting talent. They only mentioned her for 'racial equality fodder'.. When will EVERYBODY start seeing "The content of character" instead of the amount of melatonin in a person's skin?
We lost TWO Queens this year.
0:23 - what episode is that?
I will love you forever ❤ Sifu Len Jackson Maroon Fist Association
Why not include the three living legends that actually worked with her and started this franchise with her?
The likely answer, none of them are actively working on projects with Paramount. They'd have to go thru their agents, negotiate the appearance (even if it was free), coordinate filming. It's easier to get the folks currently shooting Trek with them.
Most of these people haven't seen Star Trek.
:heart
good
Too bad you allowed NuTrek on this tribute - it's not like nutrek sh...tting on everything the TOS-crew worked to overcome.
Shame on you, Paramount. You should have HONORED Nichelle Nichols.
F
