Uhura

She was dark.

She was exotic.

She wore a short skirt that showed off her legs.

She knew how to communicate.

She was proud.

She had the first interacial kiss on prime time.

They had to make up an excuse about being forced by aliens.

But still.

A step toward freedom.

A black woman could be sexy and cool.

Free to be in space.

Part of a cool and beautiful future.

Nichele Nichols passed away last night.

Uhura is free.
