Plato's Stepchildren, the tenth episode of the third season of Star Trek (original series) aired on November 22, 1968. In this episode, the crew of the Enterprise encounter a planet where the inhabitants possess powerful telekinesis, except for one, who is a little person. Michael Dunn, from Oklahoma, starred as the little person and whipping boy of the others.
It is also purported to be the first interracial kiss on television between Capt. Kirk (William Shatner) and Lt. Uhura (Nichelle Nichols), but apparently Nancy Sinatra kissed Sammy Davis Jr. the year before. However, some television stations in the south US would not air it.
