In 1920, she helped to found the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). [Redacted] traveled to over 40 countries with [Redacted], making several trips to Japan and becoming a favorite of the Japanese people. [Redacted] met every U.S. President from Grover Cleveland to Lyndon B. Johnson and was friends with many famous figures, including Alexander Graham Bell, Charlie Chaplin and Mark Twain.
