Mourning for Nichelle Nichols. As Lieutenant Uhura from the science fiction series “” – in German: “Spaceship Enterprise” – the US actress caused a sensation. She died of natural causes at the age of 89, her family said on Instagram. A great light in the firmament no longer shines, the post said. But she will remain an inspiration for future generations. Nichols was a shining example in the 1960s, especially for the civil rights movement in the USA. The fact that she played a black senior crew member on the Enterprise impressed Martin Luther King, among others, so much that he convinced the actress not to leave after the first season. Her kiss with the White Captain Kirk is considered a milestone in US television history. NASA hired Nichols as a recruiter in the 1970s after criticizing barriers to women and minorities at the space agency.
