DALLAS, TX – June 5, 2025 – Beneath the uniform lies a story rarely told. On Thursday, June 5, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., Honor Endures: The Blind Spots of the Uniform will debut with an opening reception at The Cliff Gallery at Dallas College Mountain View Campus. This student – led photography and documentary exhibition offers a moving, multidimensional experience that amplifies the voices of military veterans of color.
Presented by Operation Tiny House and funded by the City of Dallas Office of Arts and Culture, the exhibition blends visual storytelling with personal testimony to reveal the unseen challenges and enduring strength behind military service, particularly for veterans of color whose stories often go untold.
Created by a group of Dallas College photography and media students, the exhibition includes dramatic portraits, candid environmental photography, and a compelling short documentary. The stories featured come from a diverse group of veterans across the Dallas-Fort Worth area, including participants connected to Operation Tiny House, a nonprofit dedicated to restoring dignity and purpose to veterans.
“This project is more than an exhibition; it’s a platform for truth, connection, and healing,” says Keith Vinson, Executive Producer and one of the student artists. “These are stories of courage, yes—but also of invisibility, resilience, and reclamation.”
The project team includes Dallas College students: Keith Vinson, NiEtta Reynolds, Tarik Warren, and Alex Leffall.
Honor Endures is more than a visual journey—it is an urgent call to recognize the full humanity of veterans who live at the intersection of race, service, and systemic challenges.
