«The casting of Nichols was groundbreaking. Not only was it a rarity to see a black woman on primetime TV, it was even rarer to see a black woman (or woman full stop) cast in a high-powered role. Nichols was decades ahead of her time.
Nichols told Dr Martin Luther King she was going to miss Star Trek, and he asked what she meant. She said she was leaving for Broadway. That was when King told her Star Trek was the only programme he allowed his children to watch, and ordered her not to leave. “He told me not only that I shouldn’t but I couldn’t leave.” Blimey, I say, that’s a bit bossy. Why did he say that? She smiles. “He knew more than I knew. He knew more about me, where I was going to in my life, than I did.” In her autobiography, she writes that he told her she couldn’t leave because she was a role model for millions of young girls and women – the only African-American on TV in a role worth having.
She and King became close friends. “He was an amazing man. Dr King was my leader.” In 1968 he was assassinated, and she was heartbroken. “I spoke and sang at his funeral.”
Was she also active in the fight for civil rights? “Of course. I would speak at universities and talk to young people at schools.”
