:34:03
She's-- She's just
a person in authority.
:34:05
I get a great deal of mail
from women who say
:34:09
that they watch Voyager
with their daughters
:34:11
and how good it makes them feel
:34:14
to be able to point
to the screen and say,
:34:17
"See? You can be anything."
:34:19
What do you want to do
when you grow up?
:34:21
Be an astronaut.
:34:22
Mae Carol Jemison--
:34:24
first African-American
woman in space.
:34:25
She flew on the shuttle--
:34:27
became a scientist first
and then an astronaut
:34:29
because she saw
Nichelle Nichols
:34:30
on the original
Star Trek series
:34:32
and said, "You know what?
That's for me."
:34:34
There were two little girls
:34:36
around 9 years old,
8 years old,
:34:40
when Star Trek
first came on,
:34:43
and one of them told me
years later,
:34:47
"l looked on that television
and I saw you.
:34:54
I saw this black lady,
:34:57
and I ran through the house
screaming,
:35:00
Come quick! Come quick!
:35:01
There's a black lady
on television,
:35:03
and she ain't no maid!"
:35:06
Ha ha ha!
:35:08
And she said,
"l knew right then and there
:35:12
I could be anybody
I wanted to be.
:35:15
I could be anything
I wanted to be."
:35:17
And so she decided to be
a superstar.
:35:20
Ha ha! And her name
is Whoopi Goldberg.
:35:22
I'm Joyce Mason.
:35:24
And I'm Evelyn de Biase.
:35:25
And we host a radio show called
Talk Trek and Beyond.
:35:28
The way it got started was,
:35:30
we were on our lunch hour
one time at work,
:35:32
and we thought
about Trek-- talking Trek.
:35:34
You know, it's a lot of fun,
something we do a lot of,
:35:38
so we decided it would be
a great radio show.
:35:40
How do you do it?
Well, I called up
:35:43
the directory assistance
on the phone,
:35:45
and I asked for the telephone number
of a radio station,
:35:49
and she asked me...
:35:51
"Which one do you want?"
:35:52
I didn't know,
so I said, "Pick one."
:35:54
And she did.
:35:56
She picked out
this radio station--KAV.
:35:58
We packed up our things,
went over.
