Jorge Hernandez speaking with an unidentified man during the opening ceremony of the Villa Victoria Cultural Center.
1986
Jorge Hernandez (right) speaks with a man in the newly renovated lobby of the Villa Victoria Cultural Center during the center's inaugural event. Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción, led by Hernandez, purchased the 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 Villa Victoria Cultural Center opened in 1986. It was renamed the Jorge N. Hernandez Cultural Center in honor of Hernandez, whose funeral was held in the newly refurbished space just a few weeks after the inaugural ceremony.
