This week's CBS News Bay Area Icon Award winner is a woman credited with saving and revitalizing a cultural centerpiece in San Francisco's Mission District.

Anastacia Powers Cuellar remembers the first time she visited the Brava Theater back in 1983.

"I came to see a film about Machito. And John Santos was giving a lecture about the history of Latin jazz and salsa and I was just blown away," Powers Cuellar told CBS News Bay Area.
