Met her at Emerald Con. She was the nicest person. 

Man, if a dumb old white guy like me can be inspired by Ms. Nicholl’s legacy, I can’t begin to imagine how important she was to people who looked like her and shared her struggles.  She was nothing short of beautiful and brilliant!

My favorite stories from her are when MLK Jr told her she couldn’t quit and when she told Roddenberry “I know what you are doing here” and he said “Shhh...don’t tell anybody.”

And she was in charge of Communications. Perfect casting.

There’s will be a new star in the sky tonight.

89 years is a good run for a civil rights icon

...her kiss with William Shatner’s James Kirk in the episode “Plato’s Stepchildren” being cited as the first interracial kiss on scripted TV.

Rest in peace, Nichelle. May hailing frequencies be forever open because of you.

It's cool, I needed to cry more today anyway...

Her calm, commanding presence as a crew member was an inspiration for young girls as myself... Cannot overstate how much of an impact she had for many of all ages. Does this leave only Shatner, Takei and Koenig from TOS? 

RIP Nichelle Nichols. A truly wonderful woman. We were so lucky to have known her.

A true pioneer. Her story about Dr. King telling her the importance of the show and her role is always touching.

Up among the stars.....

Ms. Nichols, thank you for your amazing contribution to so many lives.  The inspiration you brought has not ended, and continues to reverberate even, and especially, during harder times.

Boldly go, Nichelle. Boldly go.

Rest with the stars above, Nichelle. I'll always treasure your photo that you signed for me at Comic Con years ago. 

Come now. Surely you know that the enlightened are duty-bound to demonstrate and display their advanced level of enlightenment to us all.

There are topics I don’t care about. Seldom do I comment about them.

Who cares. No one is claiming they’re high art. I’m sick of people complaining about this. Some of us enjoy something dumb and basic and fun sometimes. Let people enjoy things. I don’t bitch about all the sparkle vampire movies, or vroom vroom family movies, or bow and arrow girl movies. I don’t like them. So I don’t…
