First Interracial Kiss

So in the previews for the new Star Trek I noticed Kirk & Uhura were hot and heavy. I asked my father in law about this (he is quite the Star Trek Junkie-seriously he has his own little Christmas tree to hang his Trek ornaments).
I wondered if they were an item in the original series. He told me that the first interracial kiss was between Kirk & Uhura. Who knew-probably a lot of people? Apparently it was only allowed on t.v. because they were under a spell. Evil aliens forced them to kiss to see what would happen. Here's a photo. You can also find it on youtube (of course).
