There are multitudes of scenes over the years which would show the character as both an exceptional officer and inspirational person. Her resourcefulness hotwiring the communications grid in “Who Mourns for Adonais?”, the interracial kiss from “Plato’s Stepchildren”, taking command of the ship in the Animated series episode “The Lorelei Signal”, and helping Kirk and crew steal the Enterprise in The Search for Spock are just a few standout moments for Uhura.

My all-time favorite scene for Uhura is in the Original Series episode “The Savage Curtain” where she meets and talks with a clone of Abraham Lincoln.

As he takes her hand, this exchange occurs…

Lincoln: “What a charming Negress. Oh, forgive me, my dear. I know that in my time some used that term as a description of property.”

Uhura: “But why should I object to that term, sir? You see, in our century we’ve learned not to fear words.”

Now while most think of the episode as a whole to be one of the worst in Star Trek history, Nichelle’s delivery of that line is an absolutely poignant moment for both Uhura and Roddenberry’s overall vision of the future.

I shudder to think what would have happened if Nichols had stayed the course and left the show after the first season due to dissatisfaction with how the character had been handled thus far. Her now fabled meeting with one Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. where he persuaded her to stay is one for the history books. Staying on proved to be the right choice as it turned her into a symbol of hope, encouragement, and dreams coming true for all women and people of color who’ve wished to fly beyond the stars.

It’s no wonder that Nichelle would eventually become a spokeswoman for NASA. On her website she wrote, “…I helped recruit and inspire a new generation of fearless astronauts; young men and women with a strong belief in themselves, in their potential, and in a future of learning and achievement for all humanity.”

This past September 8, now known as “Star Trek Day” because it is the anniversary of when the very first episode aired on NBC, was so poignant as many fans, cast members, and creators came together to express an outpouring of gratitude for the late actress, dancer and singer.

Celia Rose Gooding, who now portrays Uhura on Strange New Worlds said, “As I sit on the bridge of the Enterprise I feel her presence, I see her influence in those who knew her, and I strive to carry the majestic legacy forward into the future she wanted for all of us.”

Nichelle Nichols passed away on July 30, 2022, from natural causes at the age of 89. The United Launch Alliance has already announced that a portion of her ashes would be spread into deep space later this year and serve as a reminder to us all of how she continues to pave the way for younger generations… boldly going, and boldly inspiring.

and rarely any phone calls. The first time we got a phone call was a 3-minute call which my father booked after being away for a couple of years on his trip. I can still remember the relief and joy on my mother’s face from that phone conversation.

Sure, she had her brother supporting her in the business and her sister-in-law, living in the house provided some companionship but I can imagine the isolation and void she must have felt day after day coming from her job in the evening. I still vaguely remember the snide, snarky remarks of intrusive relatives asking my mom where her husband was and when he would be back. I am sure she must have figured out an optimal way to triangulate her happiness from the curves of supply and demand from her students’ economics homework. My brother and I were too young and too naïve to understand any of those feelings.

My father was a great man. He lived a very hard but honest life with immaculate character and integrity. Besides his tremendous willpower, I inherited his sense of humor, irritable behavior, and dry skin. I appreciate all his hard work and how he worked tirelessly to create a brighter future for all of us, but I do not agree with some of his choices by not keeping the family together for over a decade. He believed that he would always go back to India and feared that by having his children grow up in the US, they would get spoiled. His fears are not alone. When my children were teenagers, I too had the same fears that my American born children would get into drugs, gangs or would pay full price for anything!

My childhood was a bit paradoxical. I adored my father, a strong-willed Arya Samaj follower and his abstinence from cigarettes and alcohol. I also looked up to my uncle, his leadership style and support of his sister. Despite his vices, it is interesting that my uncle outlived all his five other siblings. Maybe because he would only drink so much once every few months or maybe it was because he stopped smoking when he got into his 60’s. I can now imagine my mom’s pain seeing her brother come near the house drunk and watching her teenage children escorting him back to the house.

Despite my ups and downs in my professional career, and despite having lived in San Francisco, Virginia, Boston, and several cities within the Los Angeles area, one thing I made sure I would never do. I made sure wherever I lived, I would keep the family together. I made sure I would attend as many PTA meetings, soccer games, and piano recitals as possible. I made sure that we celebrated all the major American and Indian festivals together, including Thanksgiving, Christmas and especially Diwali. I made sure that my children could never feel that void of not having their father around for an extended period and they would not have a Trojan horse childhood. I also made sure my wife never would have to hide her pain because of my extended absences relying on the opium of Revlon perfume bottles. Instead, she can just express her occasional outbursts of anger and frustration through her comedy, making me the target of her jokes. For that, I am thankful!
