Abstract
-
FAMU legend whose unmatched speed made history. The only man to win both an Olympic gold medal and a Super Bowl ring, Hayes began his journey in segregated Jacksonville, sprinted into greatness at FAMU, and shocked the world at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.
The Robert "Bullet Bob" Hayes Collection preserves this legacy through rare photographs, race programs, NFL memorabilia, and personal items that trace his rise from track star to Dallas Cowboys icon. More than a sports story, it’s a testament to Black excellence and resilience during the Civil Rights era.
