Our Past Guides our Future E. Pat Larkins, grew up in a segregated Pompano Beach Florida and fought for equal rights. He became the city's first African-American mayor and served 19 consecutive years as city commissioner and seven terms as mayor. Mr. Larkins believed in creating and supporting opportunities for African-Americans and sought to level the playing field within the local build and construction industries. Through his passion, fortitude, vision and leadership, the Broward County Minority Builders Coalition became a conduit for ensuring “the proactive participation of highly capable minority and women-owned businesses (M/WBEs) in contracting, and by expanding the opportunities for highly skilled residents to join the construction labor force.”
