Guests mingling in the lobby of the Villa Victoria Cultural Center during its opening.
1986
The opening of the Villa Victoria Cultural Center was celebrated with music and speeches. Guests gather in the lobby and converse with each other while a cameraman focuses in on Joe Kennedy (left, 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.
