History Fort Lauderdale, proud steward of our community’s past by making our heritage accessible and engaging to residents and visitors, will honor The Miller Family of Miller Construction Company during its 28th annual History Makers fundraiser set for Thursday, February 6, from 6 – 8 p.m. This yearly special event, taking place at Galleria Fort Lauderdale (2414 East Sunrise Blvd.), recognizes individuals and companies who have made significant contributions to the growth of the City of Fort Lauderdale.

Florida natives Thomas J. Miller and Harley W. Miller established Miller Construction Company in 1973. Since then, through a combination of determination, commitment, progressive foresight and creative planning, Miller Construction has completed more than 600 impactful commercial projects for the private sector in Florida, including office buildings, industrial, manufacturing & distribution hubs, automotive, retail, healthcare, higher education, and hospitality that bolstered South Florida’s economic prosperity. Their impactful projects of note include the construction of Lago Mar Hotel & Club, multiple projects for Holy Cross Hospital over three decades, the design-build of Airbus Flight Simulator Training Facility, KOS Pharmaceuticals manufacturing and testing facility, and building two of the nation’s first fully digital TV facilities – WTVJ NBC 6 and WPLG Local10. In 1992, they were a vital part of the rebirth of and revitalization of Las Olas Blvd with the construction of the award-wining 888 Las Olas Building and expansion of the historic Riverside Hotel and parking garage. A long-standing relationship with South Florida’s top-selling furniture retailer City Furniture led to working on retail showroom construction and renovations from South Miami through Vero Beach, and in Naples and Fort Myers. In 2013, Miller Construction completed Nova Southeastern University’s Center of Excellence for Coral Reef Ecosystems Research $200 million facility, the nation’s only research facility dedicated to coral reef ecosystems. The following year, the company completed the massive $50 million, multiphase renovation of the world-class Broward Center for the Performing Arts, a milestone for Fort Lauderdale’s cultural future. Recently, Miller Construction completed an innovative, six-level automated drystack F3 Marina in Fort Lauderdale’s 17th Street Causeway marine district for owner Founders 3. The nation’s second fully automated drystack marina of its kind, F3 Marina features an automated crane that lifts and stores or retrieves boats as long as 46 feet in under five minutes – a breakthrough for the marine industry

Since its founding, Miller Construction Company and its founders have also sought to make a positive, long-lasting difference in the communities they serve. By building community partnerships and through employees’ own hands-on involvement, Miller has raised funds for vital causes and nonprofit organizations including American Cancer Society, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Boys & Girls Clubs, Children’s Diagnostic & Treatment Center, Coastal Conservation Association, Habitat For Humanity, Henderson Behavioral Health, Holocaust Learning Center, Junior Achievement, Lighthouse of Broward, Pace Center For Girls, United Way, Winterfest and many more. The company’s spirit has made Florida a better place to live for many children and families.

Previous honorees of the History Makers fundraiser have included notable organizations and individuals such as Galleria Fort Lauderdale, Kelley Shanley, Ted Drum and the Drum, Clark and Cox families, Denison Yachting, the Marine Industries Association of South Florida, the Forman family, “Alligator Ron” Bergeron, City Commissioner Steven Glassman, developer Dev Motwani, H. Wayne Huizenga, Chris Evert and Jimmy Evert, South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Winterfest, and Susan and Buddy Lochrie.
This event is sponsored by Miller Construction Company, Rick Case Automotive Group, Lochrie & Chakas, P.A., Galleria Fort Lauderdale and GPR | Goodman Public Relations.

In Praise of Blues: (Art and Recreation Center), Edouard Duval Carrier, curated by Dr. Adrienne Von Lates

Jamaica on My Mind: Aliveness and Livity (Pavilion), curated by Professor Phillip Thomas, presents Jamaican artists from home and abroad who explores the interconnections of Aliveness to Livity as a moment of accomplishment, an instant in which what has matured in the alchemical athanor metamorphoses into perfection or, rather, an epiphany or an event—an accomplishment.

Embodiments of Aliveness: The Sculpture of Siriki Ky (Art and Recreation Center), curated by Dr. El Hadji Malick Ndiaye, explores Black resilience and identity in Ky’s powerful bronze sculptures.

Under the Bridge, Beyond the Beach, Above the Muck (The Train Station), Snapshots of the Ten North’s collections, this exhibition articulates the Group’s approach to collection, embodying and enacting black memory principles. It serves as a locus of memory, a landmark around which past events structure present memory.

And Is: The Black Florida Project (The Hurt Building), curated by Melissa Hunter “And Is” presents the photography of Johanne Rahman, focusing on the complex and evolving landscapes of Black communities across Florida.

Site Memory: The Sculpture Garden (VFW Garden), led by landscape architect James Brazil. The former Veterans of Foreign Wars site becomes a space through which past and present experiences fuse to commemorates Black history through sculptures and installations inspired by banned African American literature.

Tales of Opa-Locka: A Heritage Journey (Historic Train Station) curated by Alex Van Mecl, Founder, Opa-locka Preservation Association. This inaugural historical experience presents an in-depth exploration of the city’s near-century-long history and cultural heritage, offering visitors a carefully curated journey through Opa-locka’s unique architectural and social legacy.
