Elizabeth Peratrovich was an American civil rights activist in Alaska for ending segregation and discrimination in the USA and its territories.  Her courage to face down the forces of oppression that brought segregation and her work to advance civil rights for Americans is why she is considered a Hoss. The Eagle Hoss & Hound podcast is a platform for respect. Respect for the Eagle - the individual with a service background (including spouses). Respect for the Hoss - the Social Integrity Hero from our American past. Plus, the Hound - the common #AmericanMutt - you and me. Follow @EagleIMBUED - J.D. Collier
