The source text confirms all key fields: (1) person name 'Anthony D. Romero' is correct, (2) organization 'American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)' is correct, (3) role 'Executive Director' is explicitly stated, and (4) startDate of 2001 is confirmed by the statement that he 'took the helm of the organization just seven days before the September 11, 2001 attacks' (which occurred on September 11, 2001, meaning he started around September 4, 2001). The source also mentions his '23-year tenure,' which aligns with a 2001 start date when this bio was written.
