James A. Hefner
James Arthur Hefner (June 20, 1941 – August 27, 2015) was president of Tennessee State University from 1991 to 2005.〔(James A. Hefner (1991-2005) )〕 Before serving as the president of Tennessee State University he served as president of Jackson State University in Jackson, Mississippi.

==Early life==
Born in Brevard, North Carolina, Hefner's family was too poor to own books. Recognized as exceptionally intelligent by his elementary school principal, Hefner was invited to visit her home and read her encyclopedias, an opportunity which he availed himself of every day after school for nearly eight years. Graduating as valedictorian of his elementary class and salutatorian of his high School, he matriculated to North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in Greensboro, North Carolina, where he was a class mate of Jesse Jackson. Here, too, Hefner was singled out as an exceptionally able student, by Dr. Janieta Tate, Professor of Economics, who invited him to come to her house frequently to discuss economics.〔 Graduating with a B.S. in Economics in 1961, Hefner then earned a master's degree in economics from Atlanta University in 1962, where he taught for several years. In 1971, he earned his Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Colorado. Hefner views his own role as carrying on the tradition of his teachers, encouraging young African-Americans〔(James A. Hefner HBCU Piano Competition )〕 to achieve their full potential.〔
