The mark of Mahood
Prolific architect's work spans Southern coalfields
By Robert J. Byers
BLUEFIELD - Riding along the quiet streets of south Bluefield, Mabel Mahood pointed this way and that, punctuating each gesture with a casual remark: "He did that house up there. ... He did that one, too. ... I'm not sure about that one."

Library revolutionary
Tim Adams
American novelist Nicholson Baker is a great archivist of the imagination. In his first two books in particular, The Mezzanine and Room Temperature, he logged, catalogued and interrogated the stuff that his mind snagged on every day, thoughts on the genius of wingflap milk-cartons and questions of why one shoelace wears out before the other: the big, important issues.

Why Malcolm X's Papers Shouldn't Be Auctioned
By Paul Lee
Guest Contributor
On Feb. 20, 2002--only a day shy of the 37th anniversary of Malcolm X's tragic assassination-- educator and political activist Abdul Alkalimat, editor of the Web page Malcolm X: A Research Site, issued the following announcement: "eBay, the online auction house, has archives from Malcolm X."
This is a case for Black Studies professionals to swing into action to make sure this material is not lost from history.

Group sues to keep museum's shell collection in Florida
By Georgia East
DANIA BEACH· A contentious battle between an archaeological group that used to govern the South Florida Museum of Natural History and the current board is heating up -- this time over fossil shells.
Members of the Broward County Archaeological Society filed a motion in Broward County Circuit Court to block having a shell collection moved to the American Museum of Natural History. The collection has a replacement value of $75,000 and is currently housed at the Museum of Natural History in Dania Beach.

Graybeal, column are history
By Jeff Simms, Times Staff Writer March 06, 2002
With a lifetime of history already under his belt, Jay Graybeal is moving later this month from the Historical Society of Carroll County to one of the greatest historical battlefields of them all.
After 14 years with the Historical Society, Graybeal - the society's director of museum
and library - is taking a position at the U.S. Army Military History Institute in Carlisle, Pa.
The position as the institute's photo archivist should be a perfect fit for a history buff enamored with the military since he was a small child.

Vessels of a City's Grief
By GLENN COLLINS
Last Sept. 11, at about 3 p.m., Jordan Schuster duct-taped a 15-foot-long roll of
butcher paper to the pavement of Union Square. He had no expectation that it would be
celebrated in a major museum exhibition. "It was just something I needed to do — wanted
to do," he said.

Gregory School won't be a museum after all
By RACHEL GRAVES
Scores of politicians jubilantly trotted out the plan to restore Houston's first school for freed slaves, portraying the project as a counter to decades of neglect in Freedmen's Town.
The Gregory School building would house Houston's first African-American museum and affordable housing for the neighborhood's traditional residents, whose wood-frame houses are being replaced by prefabricated townhouses, they said at an October 2000 news conference.
