We love this @ebonymagazine cover featuring @nichellenicholsofficial!! Introduce the children in your life to this incredible woman with TO BOLDLY GO: HOW NICHELLE NICHOLS AND STAR TREK HELPED ADVANCE THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT by @AngelaDalton_Author and @byLaurenSemmer Reposted from @antique_black_things 1967 - Nichelle Nichols is one of the first Black women to cross the color line by portraying a central character that was not a domestic or nanny. 13-year-old Nichelle was a native of Chicago and had won a scholarship to Chicago’s Art Institute. She worked with oil and canvas. As a young adult, Ms. Nichols liked to sew her own clothes. She was following her dream to be a famous singer when she won the role of Lieutenant Uhura on Star Trek. Eventually, she was ready to leave Star Trek to pursue her dreams with her new husband and son, Kyle Johnson (who would become a star in Gordon Park’s motion picture, The Learning Tree). On hearing her plans to move on with her life, Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King asked her to stay on the show and continue as the role model for young Black women; she agreed to stay. After the show was over, Ms. Nichols devoted herself to recruiting minorities, girls and boys, into science programs and NASA. . #ebonymagazine#ebonymagazinecovers #beautifulwomenofcolor #NichelleNichols #blackisbeautifulmovement #blackactress #blackhistory #blackownedbusiness #blackamericana #blackpaper #blackephemera #blackmagazines #vintageblackactress #nichellenichols #lieutenantuhura #nyotauhura #uhura #legend #icon #actress #startrek #60stv #60smusic (at Sistah Scifi) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck11Qz9Pwap/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Are you still celebrating Black history month? What are you doing to celebrate? Or do you celebrate Black history every day of the year? . Since visiting the National Museum of African American History and Culture last year, I've made a concerted effort to read, honor, and celebrate Black history each day. And I've noticed my awareness has ticked up many notches as I've gotten older (and especially now that I have children). . So here's a Life Magazine gem featuring Frederick Douglass (November 22, 1968), to help continue Black History Month. Cheers! . #blackpride #blacktwitter #speeches #blackexcellence #speaktruth #speaktruthtopower #independentmedia #unapologeticallyblack #blackmanhood #becauseofreading #bibliophile #bookwormlife #epicreads #bookstagrammer #booksofig #blackhistory #magazinecover #magazines #blackmagazines #coverlove #booksbooksbooks #bookgram #welovebooks #unitedbookstagram #coverstory #magazine #magazinestory #blackhistorymatters #lovereading #blackhistory365 https://www.instagram.com/p/B8r6dIwgUl6/?igshid=18pbzocts35xb

I recently seen the #voguechallenge going around and was disappointed to see that ppl in my community giving all their creative agency to a company that although stood as a symbol for fashion around the world, it also heavily and negatively impacted people of color (stealing of ideas, lack of representation, etc.). So here I am participating in a new challenge that disrupts the erasure of my community and uplift publications that are historically a symbol of Black culture. . . . #essencechallenge #ebonychallange #blackpublications #blackmagazine #blackpower #losangeles #compton #blackfashion #blackhistory #blackculture #supportblackbusiness (at Compton, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBeKon8gGnJ/?igshid=1bq9ayexy3el0
