Sci-fi/retrofuture theme: Ad for Ebony magazine featuring Nichelle Nichols

[pikkewyntjie.livejournal.com]

A repost, but I've been dying for an excuse to post this one again. Unlike many of her Trek coworkers, it doesn't appear that Ms. Nichols endorsed many products, if any, so finding her in an ad seems to be a rarity. Be sure to look under the cut to see how the cover turned out. It's less grainy and in color! 





( Click for color cover.  )

The ad is from the 1966 issue of Jet.
