This exhibit honors the life and work of Puerto Rican pioneer Rev. Manuel Tomas Sanchez. It chronicles his life as a Pentecostal Pastor of the Iglesia Pentecostal Antioquia in Brooklyn, New York. Reverend Manuel Tomas Sanchez worked in a major way to spread the movement, contributing to the rapid growth of the Pentecostal Church among Puerto Ricans and other Hispanics. On April 18, 2009 the corner of Atlantic Avenue and Court Street was named after him in recognition of his exemplary life and dedication to the Pentecostal Church.
