edf40wrjww2msgDetailOT:detailStr fiogf49gjkf0d The guy that now runs it . . . ? The ACLU's current president is a woman, Susan Herman.
Remember the guy that founded it?
I have been to Europe several times, mostly in connection with international radical activities…and have traveled in the United States to areas of conflict over workers rights to strike and organize. My chief aversion is the system of greed, private profit, privilege and violence which makes up the control of the world today, and which has brought it to the tragic crisis of unprecedented hunger and unemployment…Therefore, I am for Socialism, disarmament and ultimately, for the abolishing of the State itself…I seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class and sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal.
— Roger Nash Baldwin, founder of the ACLU
