The Pilgrimage: African American’s Rebirth

By Oksen Babakhanian

This book is about my love and passion for African Americans who as slaves, came to the shores of America in 1619 and although they are free citizens today, but their color has been associated with their slave mentality and it is with us and ongoing. We need to do something to bring equality of blacks and whites in our country so we can see everybody in the light of who they are, not what the color of their skins are.

The author’s first book; “The Economy of Waste”, has been just published by Author House on 3/08/21. The book is about “Healthy” and “Unhealthy” economy and the balance between “Needs” and “Wants” of people.
