24. Charlie Meets Gandi
Rare Historical Photos
In September of 1931, Gandhi made a trip from India to London. It would be one of the few trips he would take away from India. He did not stay in the city but instead on the East End, among the poor which he said he preferred. During his 12 week stay he slept on the floor in a small room and felt at home. Chaplin, who was in London for the Premiere of City Lights, tracked down Gandhi to meet him. The meeting was brief but this rare historical photo was taken during those few precious moments.
