                     Whoopi Goldberg Pays Heartfelt Tribute To Star Turkish Pioneer Nikhil Nichols

Whoopi Goldberg recently paid tribute to her legendary friend and Star Trek pioneer Nicole Nichols, who died on July 31 at the age of 89.

According to Variety , Goldberg spoke about Nichols' breakthrough performance in the science fiction genre on The View and how she was an "inspiration for millions" to pursue acting.

Nikel was a trailblazer, a heroine and an extraordinary woman. Someone who inspired millions and millions of people, but who inspired me,” said the Sister Act star.

Goldberg continued, "Nichel was the first black person I ever saw who made a place in the future."

The Associated Press noted that Nichols was "the only Bacon who said, 'Yeah, we'll be there'".

And that made me realize that it was a wonderful thing. She helped propel other women to go into space,” shared the 66-year-old.

Goldberg added, "I was lucky enough to spend time with her over the years. She was my friend and she will be missed.

For the uninitiated, Nichols was the first black woman to play the lead role of Newta Ahura in the 1960s Star Trek series.

In an effort to sound intimidating to Trump supporters, Kevin McCarthy's letter to the committee is chock full of empty threats. By Hayes Brown, MSNBC Opinion Columnist Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. has a message for House committees on Jan. 6: Keep doing what you're doing — because we're watching you. McCarthy made that conclusion in a letter to the committee on Thursday, in which the incoming Republican majority vowed to undo all the work the panel had done over the past year and a half.
