Rheta Grimsley Johnson, hailing from Colquitt, Georgia, and raised in Montgomery, Alabama, discovered her passion for journalism early on and actively pursued it.

Her columns gained national recognition through distribution by the Scripps-Howard News Service, and she published collections of her works such as America's Faces and a biography of cartoonist Charles M.
