It is with great and heartfelt sadness that I must report the death of Brock Peters at age 78.
Best known to Star Trek fans as Joseph Sisko on Deep Space Nine, Peters touched the hearts of many fans with his talented and wonderful acting.
A wonderful man with an extensive career. Please take a moment to reflect on the achievements he made during his career over at IMDB

For me, Brock Peters represented the strength and fortitude of the Black male in this country. The true hero to us all, will always maintain their dignity and humanity in the face of the most barbaric acts such as the lynching of Black men. His voice was as impressive as his physical image.
He represented Black men in the most dignified way.

Because of his strong image, he himself claimed that he was a threat to white America.

I had the pleasure of working with him at the LaJolla Playhouse in a play by Arthol Fugard. He was a wonderful, kind man! He was a brilliant actor as well. It is always a pleasure to see his work from his roles in Star Trek to “To Kill a Mockingbird.” He will be missed.
