When you fight to be seen
And to be understood
You find celebration
In all that is good
And truly some good
Came in brilliant red dress
A woman of colour
And of science, no less!
Nichell Nichols was
More than TV show actress
A groundbreaking figure
Finally given the access
To position of purpose
That was not seen before
On the small screen she shone
And would open the door
For women and girls
That knew not their potential
Had not seen themselves
As a part fundamental
Could now dream much bigger
And soon take their place
In the world of great study
That would take them to space!
Did she ever think she would
Be one who could further
The lives of black women
As Lieutenant Uhura?
Her story does prove
That the chances you take
Are the ones worth the effort
What a difference you’ll make!
