Yes, many racial minorities were hired by Desilu in 1960s and it was the most liberal studio out of all the major studios of the day! This is largely due to the liberalism of Lucille Ball's marriage to Desi Aranz and her radical attitude against racism despite the attitudes of her friends and colleagues! It was because of Lucille Ball that we had Star Trek and Mission Impossible, of which the first major interracial kiss was aired on Star Trek! Desilu by 1960s standards was the champion of Civil Rights for Black People!

Desilu Studios which was once RKO.
You can learn about the history of Desilu on many different websites. A few of these sites include en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desilu_Productions, www.retroweb.com/40acres.html, and www.imdb.com/company/co0031728.
The studios where most of the I Love Lucy episodes were filmed have changed corporate hands many times, but still exist as working studios. As such, they are not open to the public. They are currently owned and operated by Red Studios.
Right now, the rights to I Love Lucy are owned by CBS. The rights to the 179 episodes used to be owned by Desilu, but Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz sold the rights to CBS in 1956 for $4.3 million. With Desilu's past profits and the added amount of 4.3 million dollars, Desilu purchased RKO studios.
The series was based on the 1947 novel by Eliot Ness and Oscar Fraley, created at Desilu studios & produced by Quinn Martin
