Even though he was socialist? He was responsible for the passing of the pure food acts which changed how our animals are raised, slaughtered, and processed. Also, author of 'The Jungle'

I don't know enough about him.
I do know there was some recent controversy, accusing Sinclair of defending Sacco and Vanzetti in print although he knew (or, at the least, firmly believed) they were guilty.

Yes, he was.
He tried to make Americans understand the problems of the working man. And his book also led to safer food for Americans.

Socialism has killed over 100 million people worldwide, more than Nazism. Was Hitler a good man because he fed the ducks at the lake once?
