Uhura speaks...

Here's some great video of Nichelle Nichols speaking casually at the 2008 EAST COAST BLACK AGE OF COMICS CONVENTION in Philly. She builds on her brief stint in Blaxploitation, her iconic role on Star Trek, and her run-in with MLK. You can catch Ms. Nichols as one of the featured guests at the Women of Sci-Fi Convention coming up at the end of the month in the north Dallas... but for now, peep this clip
