   The first "inter racial" kiss ever on television, Star Trek always was years    
   ahead of the rest:

   In a Vancouver Sun interview, actress Nichelle Nichols recalled the story of    
   that famous kiss, revealing that she had been practicing with Leonard Nimoy    
   (not a bad way to spend the time) when Shatner saw them smooching.   
      
   "Bill Shatner saw what was going on and he said, 'Woah, woah, woah. If    
   anybody is gonna get to kiss Lieutenant Uhura it's gonna be me.' And he had    
   the whole thing changed so the first interracial kiss was with Lieutenant    
   Uhura and Captain Kirk."   
   "Bill wanted to rehearse all the time. He said he wanted to get this right!    
   I said to him, "It's right, it's right. I promise you, it's right." And the    
   camera was shaking and the director was laughing his head off. We really had    
   a good time."
