In the youtube video shown below, William Shatner talks about performing TV's first interracial kiss with Nichelle Nichols. It's interesting that The Shat talks about this being the first interracial kiss here but, in his book 'Star Trek Memories' describes how the censors required him and Nichelle to turn their heads blocking the kiss from view. Even though we don't see it, the kiss from TOS episode "Plato's Stepchildren" is still recorded as the first interracial kiss.
