Social reformer Riis (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

jacob

(Other definitions for jacob that I've seen before include "Hebrew patriarch" , "Biblical son of Isaac" , "He had a vision of a ladder into heaven with angels going up and down it" , "-- Rees Mogg, MP" , "Esau's twin brother" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
