Two workers work on the brick walls of a former church. Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción, led by Jorge Hernandez, purchased the former All Saints Lutheran Church on West Newton Street in Boston's South End, constructed in 1898, and renovated it into a cultural center and performing arts venue for the city's Hispanic community. The Center opened in 1986 and was renamed the Jorge N. Hernandez Cultural Center in honor of Hernandez, whose funeral was the first event held in the newly refurbished space.
