FALLS CHURCH, Va. — The Tinner Hill Historic District stands as a testament to the resilience and contributions of African Americans in the early 20th century. The first rural branch of the NAACP was established in 1915, symbolizing a pivotal moment in the civil rights movement and helped shape local history and advance social justice in Northern Virginia.
Today, the Tinner Hill neighborhood, nestled amidst tree-lined streets and historic homes, preserves the cultural heritage and stories of its residents who fought against segregation and advocated for equality.
