Nichelle Nichols broke racial stereotypes by sharing an interracial onscreen kiss with co-star William Shatner in the show - extremely rare in the 1960s.
Star Trek co-star George Takei tweeted:"I shall have more to say about the trailblazing, incomparable Nichelle Nichols, who shared the bridge with us as Lt. Uhura of the USS Enterprise, and who passed today at age 89.
She also served for many years as a NASA recruiter, helping bring minorities and women into the astronaut corps. "I think many people took it into their hearts... that what was being said on TV at that time was a reason to celebrate," Nichols said in 1992.
