#AlgerHiss was released from prison on #ThisDayInHistory in 1954. He was accused of spying for the #USSR in the 1930s, and gaoled for perjury when they couldn't make that stick. No evidence has been found that shows him a spy, and his life was ruined by #HUAC based on rumour.

Watch author @jeffkisseloff.bsky.social and Tony Hiss discuss the book Rewriting Hisstory: A Fifty-Year Journey to Uncover the Truth About Alger Hiss (kansaspress.ku.edu/9780700638338/).
