Regardless, does THIS sound like Baldwin founded the ACLU on communism?

"In St. Louis, Baldwin became greatly influenced by the radical social movement of the anarchist Emma Goldman; he joined the Industrial Workers of the World and developed a sympathy for the Soviet Union and for Communism that lasted until 1939 when he was disillusioned by the Nazi-Soviet pact and broke off all radical ties; in 1927, he had visited the Soviet Union and wrote a book, Liberty Under the Soviets, which contained extensive praise for the country he denounced in a later book, A New Slavery, which condemned "the inhuman communist police state tyranny" [1]. In the 1940s, Baldwin led the campaign to purge the ACLU of Communist Party members [2]."

I don't consider wikipedia a reliable source since anyone has access to change the content. Do you have another?
