Jorge Hernandez addressing the audience at the opening of the Villa Victoria Cultural Center.
Description:
Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción Executive Director Jorge Hernandez stands at the microphone to address the people who have assembled at the Villa Victoria Cultural Center for its inauguration. Orange lilies decorate the stage. Other speakers sit in chairs on the stage and listen to his words. Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción, led by 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.
