White Lies
NPROn the morning of August 21, 1991, a group of Cuban detainees took over a federal prison in Talladega, Alabama, and demanded their freedom. But how did they get here? And what became of them after? In season two of NPR's Pulitzer-finalist show, we unspool a decades-long story about immigration, indefinite detention, and a secret list.

I’m grateful to these journalists for the lengths they went to in their effort to solve the cold case of this murder. I’m grateful for the willingness of witnesses to finally go on record with the truth. And I’m grateful to Marie Reeb for her stunning compassion for the men who carried their guilt in the “freedom” of silence all these years. Thank you to all the truth tellers for helping bring us all out of the captivity of complicit silence. This story is our story, and we all need to hear it.
