    While the first interracial kiss on TV is still debated, Kirk/Uhura most definitely wasn’t it. This was '68 or '69, on Dutch TV we already had the first interracial kiss in 1959 and there are other American examples before '68. The actress from that Dutch scene passed away this year at 95 by the way. Unfortunately I only have a Dutch source, but here you go: https://nos.nl/artikel/2574061

    It might not look like much these days, but in '59 it made the headlines in international news.
