Dressed in a tuxedo, Melvin Francis took members of the Gentleman’s Club to a “Black Tie” event at Tidewater Community College. They were part of a bus load of students from Bayside Middle School’s Lady’z Club and 21st Century Learning Community who attended the Urban League of Hampton Roads’ Young Professional Legacies Silver Star awards program. League members presented awards to local leaders throughout Hampton Roads for their outstanding contributions to their communities.
This 12th annual awards program by the Urban League also celebrated Black History Month. Besides having the opportunity to dress in formal attire, the students learned about generous volunteers making a difference.
