While most local high-schoolers may be spending their entire summers lounging around the pool in swimsuits or sitting in front of the television in their sweatpants, one group of Las Vegas teens, inspired by the Rev. Kelcey West, will pass the hottest part of the year dressed in business attire.
West will lead 50 to 100 local teens this July on his six-day Unity Through Knowledge Black College Tour around the southern United States, enforcing a strict dress code along the way.
