Who Died On This Date: Gene Roddenberry
Gene Roddenberry
DOB: August 19, 1921
Passed Away: October 24, 1991
Creator of Star Trek, Gene Roddenberry was a visionary. Forget about the fact that his show was about outer space exploration, encountering alien races, transporters and tribbles - what made Roddenberry such a visionary - is that he imagined a future where mankind had put aside all their differences, that we were equal regardless of race,sex, religion or where you were born - at the end of the day, we were all equals banding together to be stronger, that this is how we were meant to be.
