What's the name of that one episode where Kirk and Uhura(sp?) kiss while doing a play about, I think :), Ceaser?

I believe that would be Plato's Stepchildren.

BUt is was not a play. They were being forces to kiss by Parmen who was really torturing them.

Well they were being forced to do an "imaginary" play as a means of torture. Great episode!

That episode also made television history by broadcasting the first interracial kiss between William Shatner and Nichelle Nichols. I heard some TV stations in the Bible Belt refused to broadcast it!

Well I guess it is considered the first inter-racial kiss on network television, but William Shatner claims that it wasn't really a kiss and if you watch the episode (Plato's Stepchildren) you will see that their mouths come very close together and it's hard to tell if they actually touch but it certainly isn't a "kiss" in the conventional sense.

If I remember correctly (and I have always noticed this) their mouths do touch but there isn't any "puckering" or what we would consider "kissing". More like 2 mouths touching each other and that's all. But it was the first "representation" of an interracial (Black/White) kiss.
