The city of Manassas unveiled a long-awaited Jennie Dean bronze statue at the Virginia elementary school bearing her name. Dean, a Manassas native who was born into slavery in 1848, founded the Manassas Industrial School for Colored Youth in 1893 – the only high school serving black students in all of Northern Virginia at the time.

Kline Engineering is proud and honored to be part of the design team for this historic local monument.
