"Plato's Stepchildren" is an episode of Star Trek (the original series). It is most notable for the first kiss aired on American TV between an African-American (Uhura) and white person (Kirk). Kirk: "[W]here I come from, size, shape, or color makes no difference."
Season 3, episode 10. Production episode 3x12. Original air date: November 22, 1968. Stardate 5784.2-5784.3.
The episode was banned from broadcast or sale in the United Kingdom until 1993,[1] presumably not because of the interracial kiss but because of the sadism expressed by the "Plato's Stepchildren" civilization.
