From Wikipedia:
Nichelle Nichols (born Grace Dell Nichols; December 28, 1932) is an
American actress, singer and voice artist. She sang with Duke Ellington and
Lionel Hampton before turning to acting. Her most famous role is that of
communications officer Lieutenant Uhura aboard the USS Enterprise in the popular 'Star Trek' television series, as well as the succeeding motion pictures, where
her character was eventually promoted in Starfleet to the rank of commander.
Her
'Star Trek' character was groundbreaking in U.S society at the time, and civil
rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. personally praised her work on the show
and asked her to remain when she was considering leaving the series.
Nichols appeared in animated form as one of Al Gore's Vice Presidential Action Rangers in the "Anthology of Interest I" episode of 'Futurama', and provided the voice of her own head in a jar in the episode "Where No Fan Has Gone Before". In 2004, she provided the voice for herself in 'The Simpsons' episode "Simple Simpson".
