Governor Dukakis stands with Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción board member Margarita Muriel as they celebrate the opening of the Villa Victoria Cultural Center. Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción, led by Jorge Hernandez, purchased a former church on West Newton Street in Boston's South End and renovated it into a cultural center and performing arts venue for the city's Hispanic community. The Center was renamed the Jorge N. Hernandez Cultural Center in honor of Hernandez, who died just a few weeks after this inaugural ceremony.
