This rise in spending may e part of a strategy to be more competitive in the $800 billion African-American consumer market as the U.S. economy continues to improve.

“While we are not yet seeing a significant increase in the number of major corporations targeting the Black consumer, there is growing activity among those companies that are already doing so,” said Ken Smikle, president of Target Market News. “Ultimately competition for increased market share may change the playing field as more firms look for growth opportunities.”

The total spent by the top 25 advertisers in Black media increased by 4.3% from $556.4 million to $580.8 million.

For the past four decades the Bob Hayes Invitational Track meet has been a focal point for young track and field participants from the southeastern United States. For those too young to remember, Bob Hayes was the Florida A&M sprinter that was dubbed “Bullet Bob” for his dominance of the sprints from 60 to 100 yards.

Hayes, who came to the world’s attention in 1964, was the first person to run 100 yards in 9.1 seconds and also held the world record for sixty yards at 5.9 seconds. He was awarded two gold medals in the 1964 Olympics. A muscular 5 feet eleven inches and 190 pounds, Hayes also excelled in football and is a member of the NFL Dallas Cowboys Ring of Honor.

MORE ON BOB >

Bob Hayes, WR from Florida A&M, was a World Class sprinter and won the gold medal in the 100 meter dash and the 4×100 meter relay at the 1964 Summer Olympic games held in Tokyo, Japan. Bullet Bob was then chosen by the Dallas Cowboys at the 1964 draft in the 7th round. Bob was a future pick, 1 year of college eligibility left, and not eligible to play until 1965. When he was eligible to play he changed the game. Defenses could not cover Bullet Bob man to man so zone defenses were designed to try and stop the world class speedster. Bullet Bob averaged over 20 yards per catch his 1st 6 seasons and recorded double digit TDs in 5 of those 6 years! Bob is still the only person in history who has a Super Bowl Ring and a Olympic Gold medal. Bob played in the NFL for 11 seasons, 10 with the Cowboy and his final season in 1975 with the 49ers. Bob finished his career with 371 catches, 7414 yards and 71 TDs. Bob Hayes was inducted into the Dallas Cowboys Ring of Honor in September 2001 just 1 year before his death on September 18, 2002. Bob Hayes’ Family and fans are still awaiting induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, an honor well overdue!

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama and former first lady Laura Bush will celebrate the groundbreaking for a new national museum showcasing black life, art and history on the National Mall.

The Smithsonian Institution announced Wednesday that Obama will speak at the Feb. 22 groundbreaking for the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Actress Phylicia Rashad will host the event.

Early construction work has already begun at the museum site near the Washington Monument. Officials have said the museum is on track to open in 2015. Congress has pledged to provide half the cost of the $500 million museum project.

Designers for the project have been planning a layered bronze structure with a stone base.

Bush serves on the museum’s advisory council with Oprah Winfrey, Quincy Jones and others.
