This unprecedented growth has allowed the ACLU to expand its nationwide litigation\, lobbying and public education efforts\, including new initiatives focused on racial justice\, religious freedom\, privacy\, reproductive freedom\, and LGBT rights. Romero is the ACLU’s sixth executive director\, and the first Latino and openly gay man to serve in that capacity. \nIn 2005\, Romero was named one of Time Magazine’s 25 Most Influential Hispanics in America\, and has received dozens of public service awards and an honorary doctorate from the City University of New York School of Law. In 2007\, Romero and co-author Dina Temple-Raston published In Defense of Our America: The Fight for Civil Liberties in the Age of Terror\, which takes a critical look at civil liberties in this country at a time when constitutional freedoms are in peril. Using the stories of real Americans on the frontlines of the fight for civil liberties\, In Defense of Our America takes readers behind the scenes of some of the most important civil liberties cases in America to illustrate the dangerous erosion of the Bill of Rights in the age of terror. For more information about the book\, visit www.aclu.org/ouramerica. \nBorn in New York City to parents who hailed from Puerto Rico\, Romero was the first in his family to graduate from high school.
