I want to thank the television critics Association for
honoring Star Trek with the esteemed Heritage award.
My father Gene Roddenberry started the franchise over 50
years ago.
He did it with a vision of Hope
and optimistic view of what Humanity could become
told through the lens of Science Fiction.
It's an honor to be a part of this
lasting Legacy
that has become a worldwide cultural phenomenon addressing many
of the social and political issues.
Which impact our society today.
I thank you.
and live long and prosper
