A punk/rock band called Goldfinger wrote a song named "Mable" in 1996 on their self titled album. It's a pretty funny song actually.

In the 1960s, Mable fought against a proposed above-ground BART rail system that was to divide her community. She helped preserve the undivided quality of life in South Berkeley by spearheading an effort to underground the line that would have divided and degraded the neighborhood.
Howard filed a lawsuit, and eventually BART agreed to move the line underground.
In her honor, a subsidized rental complex for seniors was named the Mable Howard Apartments, located on Alcatraz Avenue.
