I'd love to watch the whole promotional film if it were ever released, this is such a lovely clip, and a wonderful way to remember Nichelle and everything she did and stood for.

There's another very brief clip in the 2020 "Woman in Motion" documentary that shows the girl watching Uhura's earpiece being transported away.

Nichelle Nicolas has such a beautiful full voice I don’t know why they Didn’t have her sing more often on Star Trek

Wasn't it her voice in the original series opening theme? She did have a great voice.

I didn't know she could sing this well until watching this! (and I'm pretty sure I've seen all of the original series a few times over...)

How beautiful she was to carry past her own dreams the reaching upward with youth who needed confirmation of their own goals!

Amazing! Dr. King knew exactly what he was doing when he discouraged Nichelle from quitting Star Trek after the first season. He knew it was about more than a TV show. It was about one woman who could show the way for others! I wonder if she came to his mind as he was giving his last speech at the Masonic Hall in Memphis.

Wonderful! "Treasure them," she sings- appropriate, from a woman who was herself a national treasure, and is dearly missed. Thank you so much for sharing this!

Incredibly, this is the only time we get a clear look at the wrist communicators from Star Trek: The Motion Picture. You don't see them in the film itself very well at all.

I’m sitting here watching the video while a Fitbit sits on my wrist. It’s uncanny how Star Trek predicted technology.

I wonder where Lisha is now? She must be well in to her forties since this dates from.around the time of The Motion Picture. I hope she's working at NASA or some other high end profesional field. I hope all the kids in this short film are.

Felt more like a classic Trek episode than most recent Trek. The way this was executed makes it Tos era canon to me

This is a fantastic production, and putting it online so more people can see it is a great way to honor Nichelle Nichols and her contributions. But I have to say, the fact that she calls the girl a "small creature" seems pretty weird. She's supposed to be from the future, not another planet.

I really enjoyed this and love seeing her work of inspiring young people. I have know about her work like this for sometime and that she wasn’t just a token POC in Star Trek. With that being said, I think the singing took away from her role in this PSA. Made her seem like a cheeky entertainer rather than a more serious influencer. Seems simple and entertaining on the surface and I this lies my issue with it. I would have liked to not see her be an entertainer (as much as she must have lived signing) but would have liked her to talk about more facts and her love of space exploration but still great seeing this.
