Welcome to Newson Publishing
Where History Comes Alive — We tell the stories that were never supposed to be told.

At Newson Publishing, we dig into the roots of American history — the real ones. The ones buried under unmarked graves, whispered in Southern kitchens, and carried in the hands of men and women who had no choice but to survive.

Our graphic novels bring those ancestors back to life — in full color, full truth, and full power.

What We Do
We create graphic novels and artwork rooted in Black American history — told with heart, honesty, and bold visual storytelling. From the Civil War South to the streets of today, our artwork and books connect the past to the present in ways that hit different.

No sugarcoating. No erasure. Just the story. Follow the ancestors of the American Southland — the Uncles, the Mamas, and black Confederate survivors — through one of the most defining eras in American history. As the nation prepares to celebrate 250 years of freedom, we ask the harder question:

Freedom for who — and when did it finally reach us?

When Gregory Newson became an historian who is an independent oil painter illustrator, graphic novel creator on a mission — to give voice to his ancestors, honor the truth, and put history in your hands in a way that actually moves you.

Martin Luther King

The regional and racial divisions of the American Civil War still plagues us today. Where are the voices of courageous peacemakers?

Do we really as a nation want to divide ourselves into warring camps again when so many paid the price for our freedom?

Thomas Stonewall Jackson

What does Thomas Stonewall Jackson and Martin Luther King share in common?

Thomas Stonewall Jackson was the seed spreader for all Southern Black Churchers in the Southland of America. Stonewall Jackson defied Virginia law by teaching African American slaves how to read and write and started the first black Sunday school and supported it with part of his paycheck from the civil war battlefields of America to keep it open

One other exemplified courage better was Dr. Martin Luther King, who said cowardice asks the question: Is it safe? Expediency asks the question: Is it political? Vanity ask the question: Is it popular? But conscience asks the question: is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politically correct, nor popular-but one must take it simply because it is right, let’s take the profit out of race baiting and reward reconciliation.

A native American elder described his internal Civil War in the following manner; inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil and fight others all the time. The other dog is good and seeks to live in peace with all. The mean dog attacks the good dog all the time. When asked which dog wins, the native American elder reflected for a moment, and replied, The one I feed.”
