How Nichelle Nichols Kicked in Hollywood's Door With a Kiss
<p>Gene Roddenberry created a show in 1966 that imagined humanity as a better version of itself in the future. There was no war, poverty, money, or any of the ills that almost destroyed humankind. Instead, we made it to a more enlightened and prejudice-free existence. Of course, it was far from a utopia, but there was a sense of hope in Roddenberry's grand vision of humanity in the future.</p>
<p>The show was Star Trek. The cast was multicultural and groundbreaking. As a child in the 80's, I watched every episode of the show. I fell in love with it. The stories were intriguing. The planets they visited were marvelous, and they traveled on a ship that could travel faster than light. It fed my imagination and morphed me into a Trekkie. I don't attend conventions or wear the uniform, but I know most of the storylines and the show's canon. If you ever have trivia night about Star Trek, hit me up. I'm your man.</p>
