   At the turn of the 20th century, the J. Thomas Newsome family moved to Newport News. In this industrial city, he established a law practice and prospered as part of the postwar South’s new urban, black middle class. Newsome (1869-1942). His elegant Queen Anne residence served as the hub of the local black community from which he led the fight for social justice within the commonwealth.
   Today, this restored 1899 Victorian landmark is devoted to the expression of black cultural and historical themes. Admission to the house is free, but a $2 donation is suggested.
