   I learned a few years ago that Nichelle played an important role helping to drive recruitment for #NASA in the years after playing #Uhura in #StarTrek.
   She recruited #Sally Ride, #ColonelBluford & the first black female astronaut, #MaeJemison.
   Here's the story, as told in this fun Drunk History video. Narrated by comedian Ashley Nicole Black with Raven-Symoné as #NichelleNichols

   It reminds me of the power of black women & #ScienceFiction.
