originally the second in command of the enterprise was a woman but that got changed after the pilot because i guess the studio didnt want a woman in charge of the ship if kirk had to leave.

so he made uhura high ranking so later on he could put her in charge for an episode when everyone else was gone on an adventure

but then he went through a bitter divorce and kind of took his anger out on all women and when the situation came that would have left uhura in charge he refused to because a he wasnt about to let a woman control a mans ship

That's a shame, I just googled her a couple weeks ago and read up on her (didn't watch Star Trek).

the producers treated her poorly cause of racism and apparently withheld her fanmail from her
she wanted to quit the show but martin luther king talked her out of it because it was important for the black community to see her in that role

I remember hearing that part about MLK too.. when they met she told him she admired all the significant things he had done so far, he told her "What you do is just as important"

Not sure if it's true...

It is actually true. She was about to quit the show, but MLK had a talk with her, and the rest is history.

Did not know the details!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nichelle_Nichols#Star_Trek

Nichols went to Gene Roddenberry's office, told him that she planned to leave, and handed him her resignation letter. Roddenberry tried to convince Nichols to stay but to no avail, so he told her to take the weekend off and if she still felt that she should leave then he would give her his blessing. That weekend, Nichols attended a banquet that was being run by the NAACP, where she was informed that a fan really wanted to meet her.[19]
I thought it was a Trekkie, and so I said, 'Sure.' I looked across the room and whoever the fan was had to wait because there was Dr. Martin Luther King walking towards me with this big grin on his face. He reached out to me and said, 'Yes, Ms. Nichols, I am your greatest fan.' He said that Star Trek was the only show that he, and his wife Coretta, would allow their three little children to stay up and watch. [She told King about her plans to leave the series because she wanted to take a role that was tied to Broadway.] I never got to tell him why, because he said, 'you cannot, you cannot...for the first time on television, we will be seen as we should be seen every day, as intelligent, quality, beautiful, people who can sing dance, and can go to space, who are professors, lawyers." Dr. King Jr went further stating "If you leave, that door can be closed because your role is not a black role, and is not a female role, he can fill it with anybody even an alien"

And when she returned Monday and told Roddenberry that she was staying, Gene pulled out her resignation letter, which he had already torn up. He knew she was going to stay.

Fun fact: They were once intending to make a show about Sulu set inbetween TOS and TNG.

They even teased a Voyager episode about it . But it fell through.
