She even doubled down and worked to get minorities into space for NASA. RIP to a true legend.
Wow, what a woman.
> I felt like that little boy Willis, ‘Watchu talkin’ ’bout, Doctor King?”
Ahahahaha
Great story and an awesome bit of history.
Not to diminish all the posts and things about Nichelle. She was an absolute icon and legend. But, You know, we can have all these discussions and conversations about people and their amazing accomplishments and contributions while they’re alive too. Just sayin’.
Now go call your mom and dad.
haha
Awesome story.
“What you talkin’ ’bout Doctor King?”
This was moving. I mean how could she not believe in fate after that encounter. Thursday, you get your Dream musical role. FRIDAY. You quit your job. SATURDAY, MLK tells you he is your biggest fan and what you mean to the cause. Monday revoke your resignation and become a legend. What a wild few days.
