HENRICO COUNTY, Va. - On her days off, you can sometimes find Greenwood Elementary School teacher, Sarah Pena, at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond.
She takes some of the things she learns back to her students. I think art is a universal language because students can come into a classroom and they can have the same materials in front of them, said Pena. âAnd they re able to approach it from their own perspective.

Who have been your intellectual mentors and guides?
When you work on a book like the one I just wrote, you become acutely aware of how much you owe other people. My teachers helped me develop thoughts and read important texts I wouldn’t otherwise have chosen.
I read Ludwig Feuerbach, Karl Marx, and Sigmund Freud with Van A. Harvey at the University of Pennsylvania, someone who thinks their critiques of religion work. We also read Karl Barth, Martin Buber, and Paul Tillich together.
Robert F. Evans, a Pelagius scholar, taught a course on Augustine’s
The City of God. To me, a kid from New Jersey who used to work in gas stations, it was a very strange book. But the course convinced me that whatever else was going on in 1968, Augustine’s questions were close to my own.
