For the Movement is a short, powerful collection of poems from Christian Harris, a liberatory strategist, speaker, and poet whose work has appeared in Reparations Daily(ish) Zine (2025) and Respect the Mic: Celebrating 20 Years of Poetry from a Chicagoland High School (2022).
Drawing from moments, memories, and the everyday acts that keep Black life moving forward, Harris writes with the ancestors at his back and his community at his side. These poems honor the quiet work of repair-of remembering, of loving, of marching, of resting-and the people who continue their ancestors' pursuits.
A descendant of Fountain Blackwell, born enslaved in 1807, Harris offers this collection as both witness and invitation: a reminder that we are never alone in the work of justice, and that our struggles and our joy are inseparable parts of a much longer story. For the Movement is not just a book of poems-it is a companion for those building a future worthy of our descendants.
