Martin Luther King and Jawaharlal Nehru's Unfulfilled Conversation

Imagine two very important leaders, Martin Luther King from America and Jawaharlal Nehru from India, who admired each other.

They planned to have a special dinner to talk about big ideas.

King wanted to ask Nehru about using peaceful methods to solve problems, both in countries and between them.

He also wondered if India's way of developing with big factories was the best.

They also wanted to discuss if having a government chosen by the people or one run by a single party was better for new countries.

Finally, King wanted to figure out how people in India and Black people in America could be better friends.

Sadly, because there were other people at the dinner, they couldn't have their deep one-on-one chat.

But King had written down all his questions, showing how much he thought about these important topics.

People still think about these questions today, like how to solve problems peacefully and what kind of governments are best.
