On 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. It's a story about a betrayal at the heart of our country's ideals. And in charting a course to our current moment of crisis at the border, we expose the lies that bind us together.Support in-depth storytelling that matters by subscribing to Embedded+ and unlock early access to new episodes and sponsor-free listening.

This is truly the stuff I wish I had learned in history class. Grateful that we can at least try to honor the victims by hearing their truth. Maybe someday we’ll actually learn from our mistakes… maybe more people will reflect upon what is the real danger in this country, see beyond the surface to shared humanity. Can our story be aligned with the values we supposedly believe in so strongly? What lies are we choosing to view as truth today, because they are simply more comforting, simple, alluring, more popular, more convenient, easier, or even legal? Can we use critical thinking and compassion instead, to do what we know deep down is right? Using courage, being informed, and using effective communication is a path we all have the option to take. Thank you for all of your hard work on this podcast. I learned so much that I can’t believe I was not aware of previously. Love!

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.
Fantastic & Much Needed

As a white southerner, I desperately need stories like this — deep reflection on how whiteness (and all it entails) shapes public and private memory, forgetting, and the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves. Highly recommend
Season 1 - Murder of Reverend James Reeb

Season 1 - In 1965, Reverend James Reeb — a Unitarian minister and civil-rights activist — was killed during the voting rights movement in Selma. This seven-part investigative podcast, hosted by native Alabamians Chip Brantley and Andrew Beck Grace is incredible.
