As Television began to beam into more American living rooms, the newest innovation in media and communications became a connection that millions of people had never experienced before. These connections that Desilu Productions archived for humanities changed culture, and pushed it towards the 21st century. During a time of immense segregation and discrimination against people of all color; millions of Americans were laughing and relating with an interracial couple on their television screens for the very first time.
Showcasing an interracial marriage on major network television, and being married in reality, exemplifies Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz's contributions to humanities as a whole, and their impact on the perspective of the "traditional" American family. I Love Lucy is a prime example of comedy used as a tool to help influence change in social issues.
