Every self-respecting fanperson has to have a soft spot for Star Trek--at least one of the many movies or televsion series (Original Series, Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, or Voyager). Don't fret! I didn't say the "T-word," but please acknowledge the fact that the Star Trek universe is a primary node for popular science fiction. Our week starts with our first Star Fleet representative, Captain Benjamin Sisko, as #21 for FanBoy Black History. Introduced to the audience as a lieutenant commander assigned to an outpost station at the farthest reaches of the galaxy, Sisko struggled with himself, warring aliens, and Starfleet superiors. However, through his seven years on Deep Space Nine, Sisko's steadfast leadership and perseverance brought peace and dignity to this particular edge of space.
