Oh My! How George Takei fought the bigots — and won
Star Trek’s Mister Sulu: The galaxy’s greatest helmsman, captain, and swordfighter. Although the future depicted by Star Trek is one of peace and freedom, for most of his life George Takei’s reality was the exact opposite. But like his character, George refused to take unfair treatment lying down. First as an actor and then as an activist, he took on some of the most powerful people and institutions in the world in a fight against inequality. And not only was he successful beyond his wildest dreams, but his journey from concentration camp, to space, to a real-life fight for civil rights helped push the world ever closer to a brighter future that was once the stuff of science fiction.
