Waco, Texas — Waco’s Sociedad Mutualista Mexicana de Jornaleros is giving members plenty to celebrate. For most of that time, the Sociedad Mutualista Mexicana de Jornaleros — Spanish for the Mexican Mutual Society for Laborers — has been known as the Mutualista and identified with its building at 2214 S. 15th St., Mutualista Hall. Others have shortened the name even more to “the Mojo,” particularly during the years where it was a regular performing venue for local rock and rhythm-and-blues bands.
