James Allen Hightower, a distinguished American individual, has left an indelible mark on the domains of journalism, politics, and activism since his arrival into the world on January 11, 1943.
Before embarking on his distinguished path as a widely syndicated columnist, a fervent champion of progressive politics, and a published author, Hightower previously served with great distinction as the elected commissioner of the Texas Department of Agriculture, a role he occupied from 1983 to 1991.
