What do you think about white actors being cast as black historical figures and vice versa?

Like the live TV version of The Sound of Music having a black nun, Mother Abbess?
Or, if a white actor would play a black inventor maybe? Or, even lesser parts like friends, or spouses.
Casting an actor of a different race than what the writer originally envisioned in a work of fiction is one thing, but actual people in our history? Should we care whether they look like the actual person, down to skin color?
