On this day, we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for standing for equality and justice. We know him as a leader and a civil rights activist, but did you know he was a fellow #blerd? We love this image of King throwing up the Vulcan salute (swipe left)! King also convinced Nichelle Nichols to continue with Star Trek after Nichols considered quitting after the first season. SOURCE Atlanta Journal Constitute @ajcnews Learn more about how Nichelle Nichols and Star Trek helped advance civil rights with TO BOLDLY GO written by @angeladalton_author and illustrated by @bylaurensemmer. We are cohosting a free virtual book launch on Wednesday at 5PM PST with @cafeconlibros_bk, @coloursofus, @kidochicago, and @rvabookbar.
