Description
Original Star Trek television series actors Walter Koenig (who played Chekov) and George Takei (who portrayed Sulu) stand side by side in front of a chalkboard. Walter Koenig, on the left, wears a pullover sweater and raises his right hand with fingers extended straight upward. George Takei, on the right, is dressed in a suit and tie and raises his right hand in a gesture with fingers split into a V-shape between the middle and ring fingers, while smiling broadly. The setting appears to be an interior university classroom or lecture hall and was part of the State University of New York at Buffalo as a part of a lecture tour that capitalized on the continuing popularity of the Star Trek franchise.
