James Weldon Johnson has created an inspiring collection of seven sermons and a prayer. His artistry is evident throughout this piece. The most interesting thing to note is that it is a detailing of the progression of African-American preachers and in doing so it takes us through various time periods that leads us to present day. Remarkably, it is the sequencing of biblical stories that are applicable to many situations. James Weldon Johnson accomplishes this in his wonderful treatise that we call Gods Trombones. We can look at the progression from slavery to the civil rights movement, including the northern migration, all the way into the hopefulness that things will be better. We have approached this production with this thought in mind.It is hoped that this production will not only bring about a reflection as to elements that have created who we are today, but also show our spiritual journey on these shores. Most importantly, we would like these reflections to show that there is something greater than ourselves, something worth hoping for and something worth looking forward to.James Weldon Johnson takes our thoughts to a higher plane, that the question of what must I do can be supplanted with the higher question of what must we do?
