Our Stories, Our Truth National Storytelling Tour: Baltimore

Minority Veterans of America (MVA) and The Chamberlain Network (TCN) are launching Our Stories, Our Truth: A National Tour Honoring the Legacy of Us—a storytelling tour featuring art by Transpainter that invites the public into deeper connection through the lived experiences of underrepresented veterans. This multi-city journey will unfold over six months, with one stop each month from April to September 2026.

Amid increasing division and harmful narratives about identity, patriotism, and who belongs, this tour offers something different: A chance to understand one another—not through debates or headlines, but through the power of human story.

Each stop will center a different veteran identity group. Programs will feature a mix of local voices and national speakers. At each location, we will create space for minority veterans to share their truths—and for communities to listen, learn, and grow. The Balitmore stop is specifically dedicated to honoring the legacy, resilience, and unique experiences of Black and African American Veterans.
