Uhura

From Conservapedia

Uhura was the communications officer in the original Star Trek television series. Starring roles for black actresses at that time were rare, but Gene Roddenberry created a diverse cast for the Star Trek universe. Uhura was another character with little plot development; it was hard to get a feeling for her personality. Snippets from different episodes showed someone who could be a bit seductive and concerned about losing her looks and somewhat emotionally fragile, but was always a professional when doing her job.

Comments made within the show indicated that she had a university degree in communications, including the technical aspects of electronics. She also played the harp and sang in several episodes.

The role of Uhura was played by actress Nichelle Nichols. The first black/white kiss on television was between Uhura and Captain Kirk, albeit forced to happen by aliens playing a game.

In the 2009 Star Trek film, Uhura was played by Zoe Saldana.
