A sad loss. Especially as she was trapped in a conservatorship and was trying her best to fight it.
I always loved the story about how she was thinking of quitting Star Trek because of the limitations of her role until Martin Luther King asked her not to, because her role as an intelligent, independent, courageous equal was so important for black women.
She was a true trailblazer and inspiration.
