Nichelle Nichols born 1932

Nichelle Nichols is known as the original Nyota Uhura, which translate to Star Freedom in Swahili. 

While my favorite episode is Mirror Mirror in the same way I love Michael Burnham in the Terran world. .... 

look at the attitude on Black women in terran world:) I love it

Best action scene for Uhura in the original show

But musically she had her best outing with the Vulcan Lute. My favorite is the following...

BEYOND ANTARES  [originally performed in the Star Trek original series episode The Conscious of the King]

Video From the episode

The skies are green and glowing,
Where my heart is, where my heart is,
Where the scented lunar flower is blooming:
Somewhere, beyond the stars...
Beyond Antares.

I'll be back, though it takes forever.
Forever is just a day.
Forever is just another journey.
Tomorrow a stop along the way.

Then let the years go fading,
Where my heart is, where my heart is,
Where my love eternally is waiting
Somewhere, beyond the stars...
Beyond Antares.

The skies are green and glowing,
Where my heart is, where my heart is,
Where the scented lunar flower is blooming:
Somewhere, beyond the stars...
Beyond Antares.

There waits my lover sleeping

Where my heart is, where my heart is

Where the great blue ring whose watch is keeping 

Somewhere, beyond the stars...
Beyond Antares.

I'll be back, though it takes forever.
Forever is just a day.
Forever is just another journey.
Tomorrow a stop along the way.

Then let the years go fading,
Where my heart is, where my heart is,
Where my love eternally is waiting
Somewhere, beyond the stars...
Beyond Antares.
