“Nichelle Nichols had decided leave the original Star Trek series after the first season. Fed up with racist harassment and limitation, culminating with her learning that studio executives were withholding her fan mail, she submitted her resignation. She withdrew it when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. convinced her that her role was too important a cultural breakthrough to leave.”

“I’d get the first draft, the white pages, and see what Uhura had to do this week, and maybe it was a halfway-decent scene or two, sometimes more, and then invariably the next draft would come in on blue pages and I’d find that Uhura’s presence in the show had been cut way down. The pink pages came next and she’d suffer some more cuts, then the yellow, more cuts, and it finally got to the point where I had really had it. I mean, I just decided that I don’t even need to read the FUCKING SCRIPT! I mean I know how to say, ‘hailing frequencies open.’”

"Still, no matter how many qualities she has instilled in Uhura, Nichelle feels that in the movies her character has not been developed to its fullest potential the way it has been in fan fiction. -
‘I think Uhura is a very independent woman but a relationship for her would be a very exciting aspect to delve into. There is a great potential to develop Uhura because she has many interesting qualities.’ …. ”

"Looking back, Nichols would have welcomed the opportunity to expand her character beyond the limitations of a supporting role:
"You must understand that I’m an actor, not a communications officer, and as such, I would have treasured the opportunity to act, to have been a character developed and have experiences other than keeping the communications open.”

She loves what they did with Uhura in the reboot and even thanked JJ and Zoe Saldana
She supports Spock/Uhura too because she said it was supposed to happen in tos too but the 60s were too racist even the kiss with Kirk, that was forced, almost didn't get an ok from the network and some producers.

Nayrt

Well, shit. I can see why the complains for her character in the reboot seem to be the concerning trolling kind especially if they never complained before but they suddenly complain only now that she seems to be developed at least in par with white female characters.
