In a maximum security prison in Mississippi, books are reshaping the conversation. Developed in collaboration with journalist Alan Huffman, Hidden Mirrors is a documentary-style podcast that explores the prison book club at Wilkinson County Correctional Facility. For men serving time, books become more than words on a page. They become a way to be seen. And in a place built to strip people of their voices, this club helps them be heard.

The gripping story of 200 freed Mississippi slaves who sailed to Liberia to build a new colony - where the colonists' repression of the native tribes would beget a tragic cycle of violence. When a wealthy Mississippi cotton planter named Isaac Ross died in 1836, his will decreed that his plantation, Prospect Hill, should be liquidated and the proceeds from the sale be used to pay for his slaves' passage to the newly established colony of Liberia in western Africa.
