ET spoke with Avery Brooks about the messages within ‘Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’s beloved episode ‘Far Beyond the Stars,’ streaming on CBS All Access. Brooks opens up in this 1998 interview about wanting to explore racism through the lens of a 1950s sci-fi writer, and how ‘DS9’ follows ‘Star Trek’s tradition of prominently featuring BIPOC characters. ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ continued this legacy with the franchise’s first Black female lead, and the show’s first season will make its broadcast debut in a special presentation starting Sept. 24 on CBS.SHOW LESS
