Ojeda Penn, Atlanta area jazz pianist, clarinet player, and college professor, worked at the Neighborhood Arts Center February through August 1975 before taking a job as an associate professor of English at the Atlanta Junior College. He stayed on as a member of the Neighborhood Arts Center board of trustees. He also taught at Emory University and the Atlanta Metropolitan College.
