God's Trombones: Seven Negro Sermons in Verse

God's Trombones: Seven Negro Sermons in Verse is a book of poems by James Weldon Johnson  patterned after traditional  African-American  spiritual oratory. African-American scholars have identified the collection as one of Johnson's two most notable works, the other being  Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man. The work went on to find acclaim in many circles, proving "enormously popular among both the black  cognoscenti  as well of the masses of black Americans" and being used widely in oratorical contests.
