Burton, host of public television’s Reading Rainbow and star of the Star Trek: The Next Generation TV series, said it was hard for him to identify with characters in books he read as a young boy because they weren’t black.
Then he began watching the original Star Trek series and saw the character of communications officer Lt. Uhura, played by Nichelle Nichols.
‘‘What it said to me was when the future comes, there’ll be a place for you,’’ Burton said. ‘‘Dreams really do come true.’’
