James Weldon Johnson 
God’s Trombones 

Soporte
African-American scholars have cited James Weldon Johnson’s 1927 book of poems, “God’s Trombones: Seven Negro Sermons in Verse” as one of the author’s most notable works. Johnson, who is best known for his 1912 work, “The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man”, was an American writer and civil rights activist born in Jacksonville, Florida in 1871. As a leader of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Johnson helped to bring awareness to the problem of black lynching in America during the first part of the 20th century as well as other civil rights issues that people of color faced in America. A collection of eight poems, “God’s Trombones” draws upon the tradition in the black church of drawing upon black folklore to preach the word of god. The title of the work has been described by Johnson as a metaphor for the powerfully persuasive nature of the vocal and rhetorical qualities of the sermons of a folk preacher. Immediately upon its publication “God’s Trombones” would go on to achieve great critical acclaim in the black community further helping to establish Johnson as one of the principal figures of the Harlem Renaissance. This edition includes a biographical afterword.
