Star Trek's Uhura - Nichelle Nichols - Returns to ?SPACE CITY?: Houston Texas on August 11 - 12, 2012 at Westin Galleria convention center.

Sci-Fi fan-favorite actress is media Guest of Honor for new pop culture convention featuring Kids Need to Read, along with comics, top authors, artists, gaming, costumes, live music, and more. Nichols, in addition to making TV history for women and African-Americans, has been an inspiration for people of many generations to follow their dreams and reach for the stars. Once the Star Trek TV series ended, she worked for NASA in Houston, during the 70's and early 80's as part of a program to encourage African-American youth to consider math and science careers and to recruit women and minority astronauts for NASA. The convention is not only a ?pop culture, summer Geek festival? but with Kids Need to Read and SpaceUp Houston among the featured guests, it is an educational event for all ages, in the KNTR theme of ?Inspiring Imagination?.
