Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's Captain Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks) receives his own holiday, named The Sisko Day, on May 22. This is all thanks to Cirroc Lofton and his Star Trek podcast, The 7th Rule. Lofton portrayed Captain Sisko's son Jake in all 7 seasons of DS9, and in 2019, he founded The 7th Rule with Aron Eisenberg, who played Nog on DS9, producer Ryan T. Husk, and Malissa Longo.
Star Trek celebrates several themed holidays throughout the calendar year, including First Contact Day in April, Captain Picard Day in June, and Star Trek Day in September. With their Star Trek roots from DS9, Lofton and The 7th Rule believe that Captain Sisko deserves his own day of recognition, and they created The Sisko Day to celebrate Deep Space Nine's Captain and Avery Brooks, who made history as the first African-American to lead a Star Trek series.
