Professor Clifton "Cliff" Fox- Professor- clifton.r.fox@lonestar.edu
I have taught history at LSC-Tomball since 1989. I teach History 1301 and 1302. My hometown is New York City, where I graduated from the public schools. My higher was at Michigan State University [Go, Spartans !!], where I focused on American economic history, especially the history of banking. I also found my wife in Michigan, a native of Grand Rapids. Learning and teaching history has been my lifelong passion, not just American history, but also European and World history, especially Eastern Europe and China. When teaching the history of United States, I always stress the interconnection of America with the World, even centuries ago. The most interesting historical figures are those who exemplify the connectiveness of the world like the medieval travelers Marco Polo, Ibn Battuta and Zheng He [Look these people, up !], powerful people who built empires across many cultures in the early modern figures generally without scruples, like Hongwu, Suleiman, Akbar or Queen Elizabeth I [More people to look up !], and modern figures who shape the world across many cultures, whether for good or evil, like Napoleon, Lincoln, Lenin, Gandhi, Roosevelt [FDR] or Mao. I hope that I will see you in one of my future classes !!
Professor J. Shango- Professor- Jawanza.Shango@lonestar.edu
Professor J. Shango recently joined the History Department at LSC Tomball. He previously taught full-time at Prince George's Community College in Largo, MD. He is an expert in African American history, with a strong focus on African American intellectuals. He teaches HIST 1301, HIST 1302, and both halves of African American history (HIST 2381 and HIST 2382). Professor Shango teaches history from a global perspective. His classes on African American history will also cover Africa, Europe, Asia, the Caribbean Islands, and South and Central America. One of his favorite historical figures is Edward Wilmot Blyden, a Caribbean-born intellectual whose life and career included travel to Venezuela, the United States, and ultimately West Africa. In Africa, Blyden served as an educator, writer, politician, and diplomat.
