Shatner is on that list multiple times. That man had an agenda.

I think it was the first one that was both broadcast nationally in a primetime slot and where the actors were easily identifiable as having different ethnicities on a tiny TV screen. Would explain the misconception.

Late 30s here- it blows my mind that we don't have to look very far into that past for the Shatner/Nichols smooch to be remarkable.

It's uplifting to me. This present world can be ugly, but it's comforting to think that the kiss is almost mundane when compared to the present.

A win is a win!

I stand corrected! Thanks for the info, I've believed that since 7th grade when I first learned of it from one of my teachers who was a massive Trekkie.
