Eleanor Roosevelt was First Lady from 1933 till 1945.  The niece of Teddy Roosevelt and the wife of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Eleanor made a big impact on American politics during her life culminating as the United Nations Chair of the Committee that created the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.  Her compassion for those less fortunate, her courage to help women and minorities gain and exercise their rights, and her devotion to advance social integrity to benefit all Americans makes her a HOSS indeed!

RBG - Ruth Bader Ginsburg - was the 2nd woman to become a U.S. Supreme Court Justice (after Sandra Day O'Conner).  Her life leading up to the Supreme Court was a life of public service, especially to help improve the laws of our great country.  RBG particularly made an impact in the area of equality of the sexes with her work in the 1996 Supreme Court ruling on United States vs. Virginia when the all-male school, VMI - Virginia Military Institute, was ordered to allow females too.   Ruth's constant stance to uphold the dissenter, to provide for equal opportunity and protections of law regardless of sex, and to advance social integrity to benefit all Americans makes her a HOSS indeed!

Much the same as Martin Luther King, Jr. the author of Caste the Origins of Our Discontents, Isabel Wilkerson, traveled the world including India, Africa, and Germany in order to write her new bestseller for 2020.  Isabel Wilkerson manages to argue that the American culture has been locked in a system of caste based on skin color for centuries while pointing out that the Nazis of Germany modeled their system after that of the American South.  Albert Einstein, featured in Caste, was a famous American physicist who immigrated to America to escape the rising Nazi regime in Germany.  Besides his work in physics, Albert Einstein employed his celebrity to fight racial prejudice and advance social integrity to benefit all Americans.

Roger B. Taney was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court who ruled on the Dred Scott case in 1857 which hastened the nation into Civil War. He was a slaveholder and DEMOCRAT who wrote in his decision regarding Dred Scott (who was suing his master for his freedom) and other Afro-Americans claiming they, "are not included, and were not intended to be included, under the word 'citizens' in the Constitution, and can therefore claim none of the rights and privileges which that instrument provides for and secures to citizens of the United States."  Roger B. Taney was an overt Racist and maintained his post in the Supreme Court during the Civil War while opposing Abraham Lincoln's policies throughout until his death in 1864 (after 30 years are Chief Justice of the Supreme Court). His singular actions led to the Civil War in which over 600,000 Americans perished. These egregious offenses make Roger B. Taney an Anti-Hoss.
