Nichelle Nichols had the first interracial kiss on an American TV series

Nichelle Nichols had the first interracial kiss on an American TV series

 

 

 Nichelle played Lieutenant Uhura on the hit television series Star Trek.


She was the first African-American woman to play a lead role on a mainstream TV show who was not a stereotypical character. 

She almost left the series after the first year; however Martin Luther King Jr. convinced her not to quit.
