Although Thich Nhat Hanh and Martin Luther King Jr. knew each other for only a few years before Dr. King was assassinated in 1968, their relationship had a profound impact on each other—and on the world.
Thich Nhat Hanh wrote an open letter to the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1965 as part of his effort to raise awareness and bring peace in Vietnam. There was an unexpected outcome: The two men became friends and allies. This friendship between two prophetic figures from different religions and cultures, from countries at war with one another, reached a great depth in a short period of time.
