Slavery to Star Trek (Fringe show)

Wow. I attended a fringe show last night called ‘Slavery to Star Trek’ ($10)… I know what you are thinking, but it was not all about star trek - it was the touching true life story of a lady in her 70’s who had lived through decades of rapid change in the USA before coming to Australia. Her story touched upon the work of both Martin Luther King and Malcolm X on black civil rights and her meetings with them. Then her talk moved on to her role in the first few years of Star Trek production working with Jean Coons. Overall, an intimate and personal insight into a historical period of dynamic change. A wonderful hour which successfully merged entertainment with a history lesson!
