A Message from Spock About Not Being Accepted

“I know that you are half Vulcan and half human and you have suffered because of this,” the girl named F.C. wrote. “My mother is Negro and my father is white and I am told this makes me a half-breed. … I guess I’ll never have any friends.”

Nimoy was so moved by the letter that he responded at length in the next issue. "[Spock] said to himself: ‘Not everyone will like me,’ " Nimoy wrote. “But there will be those who will accept me just for who I am.”

Great article. He always seemed like a good man. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a bad word against him.

P.S. Wonder how much those Monkey sweat shifts would be worth today? .
