Here's another little useless one:

The first inter-racial kiss on TV was on Star Trek when Captain Kirk kissed Lt. Uhura. Interestingly enough, as it was 1968, most letters were favorable. They even got a letter from a Southerner who said "I'm against the mixin' of the races but when a guy like Captain Kirk meets a nice dish like Lt. Uhura he's not gonna hold back!". Nichelle Nichols who played Uhura said she kept that letter - she thought it was so funny.
