The Las Vegas Project Origin and Objective Simply stated, the Las Vegas Project (L.V.P.) was developed to present a series of PowerPoint presentations for large audiences primarily to schools, their students and teachers for lecture about the history of the Tuskegee Airmen. School audiences begin at the elementary level (4th grade) to middle schools, high schools and at the college level.Press Any Key to Advance SlideUpdated as of 8/1/2014

The Las Vegas Project is named after the five-year program that was originally developed for the McDonalds Owners and Operators Association of Las Vegas, Nevada in 2008.

Over 14,000 students in the Clark County School District of Las Vegas have received orientation into the history of the Tuskegee Airmen through this presentation.

The L.V.P. schedule is designed for one to five days (Mon thru Fri) for up to ten total presentations where 350-400 attendees attend an assembly gathering for one period or block of time (usually 55-75 minutes) Ron Spriggs, Executive Director R.S.E.T.A.Mr. Spriggs co-founded the Ron Spriggs Exhibit of Tuskegee Airmen (R.S.E.T.A.) in December, 2002.
